FAQ
Trim MP3 FAQ
Everything you need to know about trimming MP3 files online.
How do I trim an MP3?
Upload the MP3 to MP3 Editor Online, drag across the waveform to select the section you want to keep, press play to preview it, then click "Extract selected" and export. The part outside your selection is removed automatically.
How do I trim the end of an MP3?
Select from the start of the track to where you want the file to end, then click "Extract selected". The section after your selection is dropped, leaving you with the shortened track.
Does trimming an MP3 lose quality?
No. Trimming keeps the selected audio exactly as it was. Because the editor works with the decoded audio before it is re-encoded, you only pay for the final export bitrate you choose.
Can I trim an MP3 for a ringtone?
Yes. Select the 20–40 second section you want, trim it with "Extract selected", optionally add a fade-in and fade-out, and export it as MP3. The result can be set as a ringtone on most phones.
Can I trim an MP3 on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can trim MP3 files on iOS and Android without installing an app.
