No upload. No signup. No watermark.
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.
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.
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.
Drag an audio or video file onto the upload area, or click to pick one. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV — they all work.
Drag the handles to set your start and end. Hit play to preview your selection before exporting.
Choose MP3, WAV, or keep the original video format for a lossless trim. The file lands on your machine the moment it's ready.
Pull a 30-second quote out of a two-hour episode and download just the clip you need.
Cut a short slice out of any MP3 or video and save it as an audio file your phone can use.
Shorten an MP4 or MOV without re-rendering — original quality stays intact, no watermark added.
Save the sound from a video as MP3 or WAV — handy for interview transcripts, voice memos, or course audio.
Drop an M4A and walk out with an MP3. Drop a WAV and walk out with a smaller compressed version.
Trim a video to the length you need for TikTok, Instagram, or Shorts — privately, without uploading the raw 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
