Tapecut is a free online audio editor that runs entirely in your browser. Open an MP3, WAV, or voice recording, remove the parts you don't need, add fades, adjust volume, and export the result. No software installation or account is required. Use it to trim a voice memo, clean up a podcast take, cut a ringtone from a song, or stitch a few clips into one track.
Tapecut processes audio locally, so your audio never leaves your device. There is no upload step. Decoding, editing, and MP3 encoding all run in the browser. Once the page has loaded, the editor can keep working without a network connection, and large files do not need to upload before you can edit them.
Select any region to keep it, remove it, or split it into movable pieces. Ripple editing closes gaps, and markers follow your cuts.
Fade in or out with four curve shapes, set clip volume from 0–200%, and normalize quiet recordings. These edits are non-destructive and undoable.
Layer up to eight tracks, such as voice over music or multiple takes side by side. Each track has volume, mute, and solo controls.
Record from your microphone into a new track. Use it for narration, voice notes, or any other audio you want to edit.
Slow a clip to half speed or increase it to double speed. Reverse a clip, or insert exact gaps of silence anywhere on the timeline.
Your session autosaves in the browser, which can help after an accidental tab close. Save a .tapecut project file when you want to keep every track and edit for later.
Open a file — drop it anywhere on the page, click Open, or record from your microphone.
Select a region by dragging across the waveform. Zoom with the mouse wheel for precise edits.
Edit — trim to the selection, cut it out, split into pieces, fade the edges, and adjust volume.
Export as lossless WAV or MP3 up to 320 kbps, encoded on your device.
No. Tapecut has no upload step. Files are opened and processed inside your browser, and exported files are written to your Downloads folder. Your audio stays on your device.
MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A/AAC, FLAC, WebM, and Opus — anything your browser can decode. Export is lossless WAV or MP3 at 128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps.
Tapecut autosaves your session to your browser's local storage a few seconds after every edit. When you return, it offers to restore the last session. For long-term storage, save a .tapecut project file (Ctrl S).
Yes — each file you open becomes its own track, up to eight. Layer them for a mix, or copy a clip and paste it after another to join files end-to-end. Export combines the audible tracks into one file.
Yes. No account, no watermark, no export limit. Tapecut runs in your browser and does not need server-side audio processing.
It runs in any modern browser, and the layout adapts to smaller screens. Detailed editing is easier with a mouse and keyboard, but touch works for basic trims.
