Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MP3 Cutter free to use?

Yes, the MP3 Cutter is completely free with no usage limits and no feature restrictions. All features including multi-segment merging and WAV export are available for free.

Will my audio files be uploaded to a server?

No. All audio processing is done in your browser (client-side). Your files never leave your device, and our servers never touch any audio data. This is our commitment to user privacy.

What audio formats are supported?

Import supports all formats your browser can decode, including MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, FLAC, AAC, WebM, and more. Export supports MP3 (192kbps) and WAV (16-bit PCM lossless) formats.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no fixed file size limit. However, since processing is done in the browser, very large files (e.g., over 500MB) may cause memory issues. We recommend using a modern browser and device for the best experience.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The MP3 Cutter features responsive design and supports iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and other mobile browsers. However, due to smaller screens, we recommend using landscape mode for waveform selection on mobile.

How do I make a phone ringtone?

Upload a song, select the 30-second clip you want, and export as MP3. iPhone users will need to convert the MP3 to M4R format (using iTunes or GarageBand), while Android users can directly set the MP3 file as a ringtone.

What is the quality of the exported MP3?

The exported MP3 uses the LAME encoder at a constant bitrate of 192kbps, which is widely considered the optimal balance between audio quality and file size. If you need lossless quality, choose to export as WAV format.
