Explore what makes PaperBanana your go-to audio cutting tool
Got a pile of audio files to trim? PaperBanana lets you cut multiple tracks at once with batch processing. Upload your files, set your cut points, and let PaperBanana handle the rest. This is perfect for podcasters who record long sessions and need to split them into individual episodes, or DJs preparing sets with dozens of tracks.
See every detail of your audio with PaperBanana's clear waveform display. You can zoom in to find the exact spot where you want to cut, down to the millisecond. No more guessing where a word starts or a beat drops. The visual waveform makes it easy to trim audio with surgical precision, so your cuts sound clean and natural every time.
PaperBanana works with every audio format you actually use. Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or OGG files and cut them without any conversion step. When you download your trimmed audio, you keep the same format and quality. No need to worry about compatibility issues or losing audio fidelity during the cutting process.
PaperBanana runs entirely in your browser, so you can cut audio on your laptop, tablet, or phone. The interface adjusts to fit your screen size automatically. Edit a podcast clip on your commute, trim a song on your lunch break, or cut audio files from any computer without installing software. Your audio editing tool is always just a browser tab away.
When you cut audio with PaperBanana, your file's metadata stays intact. Song titles, artist names, album art, and ID3 tags all carry over to your trimmed file. This matters when you manage large music libraries or share files that need proper attribution. You cut the audio, not the information that goes with it.
PaperBanana fits right into your existing workflow. Cut your audio files and then use them in video editors, DAWs, or social media platforms. The clean output works with tools like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Audacity, and GarageBand. You spend less time on file prep and more time creating content that your audience will love.

Podcasters rely on PaperBanana's audio cutter to remove awkward pauses, false starts, and filler words from their recordings. Instead of re-recording an entire episode, you can trim audio at the exact points where mistakes happen. Use the waveform view to spot silent gaps or unwanted noise visually, then cut them out with a single click. PaperBanana keeps your audio quality high after every edit, so your listeners hear crisp, professional sound. Whether you produce a weekly interview show or a daily news update, this free audio cutter saves you hours of editing time each week.

Musicians and DJs use PaperBanana to cut audio tracks down to the perfect length for mixes, mashups, and sample packs. You can trim the intro of a song, isolate a chorus, or cut out a specific beat section to use in your next project. The precise waveform display helps you find the exact beat where you want to start and end your cut. PaperBanana supports MP3, WAV, and FLAC formats, so you can work with high-quality source files. Once you trim your audio, download the clean clip and drop it straight into your DAW or DJ software.

Video editors often need to cut audio separately from their video clips. PaperBanana makes this fast and simple. Upload your audio track, trim it to match your video timeline, and download the result in seconds. This is especially useful when you need to shorten background music, cut a voiceover to fit a specific scene, or remove dead air from interview footage. You do not need expensive software like Adobe Audition just to make a quick audio cut. PaperBanana gives you clean, precise cuts that are ready to import into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or any other video editor you use.

Sound designers use PaperBanana's audio cutter to isolate and trim sound effects from longer recordings. Maybe you recorded an hour of ambient sounds and need just a 3-second clip of rain on a window. Or you want to cut a specific impact sound from a sound library track. PaperBanana's waveform visualization lets you zoom in and find the exact start and end points for your cut. The tool preserves the original audio quality, which is critical for professional sound design work. Export your trimmed sound effects in WAV or FLAC for maximum fidelity, or MP3 for smaller file sizes.
