Frequently Asked Questions
How precise is the audio cutter?
The audio cutter allows precision down to 0.1 seconds (100 milliseconds) using the fine-tuning nudge buttons and waveform display.
Is my audio file uploaded to any cloud server?
No! All audio slicing, fading, and exporting run 100% locally in your web browser using HTML5 Web Audio APIs. Your files remain 100% private.
What is the difference between 'Keep Selected' and 'Remove Selected'?
'Keep Selected' exports only the region between your start and end points. 'Remove Selected' cuts out that section and stitches the rest of the audio together.
