How to cut, split, and merge audio

Short answer

To cut audio, set a start and end and export the trimmed range. To split, cut a long file into several parts. To merge, append files in order into one track. All three can run locally in the browser without uploading anything.

Three common audio edits

Most quick audio jobs are one of three things: keeping only part of a clip, breaking a long recording into pieces, or joining several clips into one. None of them need a full audio editor, and none need to leave your device.

How each one works

  1. Cut (trim)Pick a start and end time and export just that range. Use it to drop silence, keep a highlight, or shorten a voice memo.
  2. SplitCut one long file into several parts — by time or at markers — and download each piece. Handy for chapters or splitting a mix into tracks.
  3. MergeAppend clips in order into a single file. Put intro, body, and outro together, or stitch recordings into one track.
Pick your output formatExport to MP3 for small, universal files, or to WAV/FLAC when you need lossless quality for further editing. Merging into WAV avoids re-compressing lossy sources.

Questions

Can I trim audio without re-encoding quality loss?

Exporting to a lossless format like WAV or FLAC avoids further compression. Trimming to MP3 re-encodes, so start from the best source and choose a high bitrate if you stay lossy.

Do these tools upload my audio?

No. The cut, split, and merge tools process the file in your browser tab, so the audio never leaves your device.

Does this send my data anywhere?

No. Utilumo's developer tools parse and transform input inside the browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged.
