Why clipaud.io

Stays on your device

Your file never leaves your browser. Trimming, converting, and exporting all happen locally — no upload, no server, no copy sitting on someone else's disk.

Faster than uploading

Skip the upload progress bar entirely. A 2 GB video starts trimming the moment you drop it in, instead of after a fifteen-minute wait.

Handles huge files

Most browser tools choke around 500 MB and cap your output. clipaud.io reads files lazily, so even 10 GB+ videos work — and there's no watermark or signup ever.

02 — Process

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Drag an audio or video file onto the upload area, or click to pick one. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV — they all work.

  2. 2

    Trim with the timeline

    Drag the handles to set your start and end. Hit play to preview your selection before exporting.

  3. 3

    Pick a format and download

    Choose MP3, WAV, or keep the original video format for a lossless trim. The file lands on your machine the moment it's ready.

03 — Use Cases

Use cases

Clip a podcast highlight

Pull a 30-second quote out of a two-hour episode and download just the clip you need.

Make a ringtone

Cut a short slice out of any MP3 or video and save it as an audio file your phone can use.

Trim a video clip losslessly

Shorten an MP4 or MOV without re-rendering — original quality stays intact, no watermark added.

Extract audio from a video

Save the sound from a video as MP3 or WAV — handy for interview transcripts, voice memos, or course audio.

Convert between formats

Drop an M4A and walk out with an MP3. Drop a WAV and walk out with a smaller compressed version.

Cut a clip for social

Trim a video to the length you need for TikTok, Instagram, or Shorts — privately, without uploading the raw file anywhere.

04 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this upload my file anywhere?

No. clipaud.io runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read, trimmed, and converted on your own device — nothing is sent to a server, no copy is stored anywhere we can see.

What's the maximum file size?

There's no hard limit set by us. We've successfully trimmed videos over 10 GB. The real ceiling is what your browser can hold in memory, which is usually well above the file sizes most people work with.

Is it really free? Is there a catch?

Yes, free. No signup, no watermark, no paywall, no ads. The whole tool runs on your machine, so there's nothing for us to charge for.

Does the video trim lose quality?

No — when you trim a video and keep the original format, clipaud.io copies the video and audio streams without re-encoding. Quality stays bit-for-bit identical. Cuts land on the nearest keyframe, so the start or end may shift by up to a second or two.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox 110+ all work well. Safari is partially supported — some features depend on a browser capability Safari hasn't fully adopted yet.

Can I extract audio from a video file?

Yes. Drop a video in, pick MP3 or WAV as your output format, and you'll get just the audio track. You can also trim before extracting if you only want a portion.

Can I trim audio for a ringtone?

Yes — cut your selection to whatever length you need (usually under 30 seconds for ringtones) and export as MP3. Most phones accept MP3 ringtones directly.

How is this different from typical online audio editors?

Most online editors upload your file to their servers first, which is slow, exposes your content, and limits how big a file you can work with. clipaud.io processes everything locally in your browser, so it's faster, more private, and works on much larger files.
