New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose where to cut
At pauses places each cut in the middle of a gap in speech, so no piece starts mid-word. By length and Equal parts cut on the clock, and Fast copies those pieces out with no quality loss.
A new piece at each natural break.
Best for podcasts, interviews and talks.
A piece every 10 minutes, or the length you set.
Best for lectures and long recordings you play in parts.
The number of pieces you choose, all the same length.
Best for audiobooks and sharing a long file in a few parts.
Every setting, explained in the Split audio guide Split by · Minutes per piece · Number of parts · Sensitivity · Minimum pause
The alternative
Audacity is free and can split a recording by hand with labels, which is fine for one file. Hangar is quicker when the same split repeats across many recordings, or when you want the cuts placed at the pauses for you.
Audacity: the free, open-source audio editor for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Who uses it
Turn a long recording into clips at the natural breaks, ready to trim and share.
Hangar for podcastersCut a two-hour class into ten-minute parts students can play on the way home.
Split one huge file into equal parts that any player can handle.
One app, one payment
The same app trims, converts, compresses and captions video and audio, and does the same kind of work for PDFs and images. One payment covers every tool.
Save it as a chain
Cut a long recording into parts at the pauses, even out the volume of every part, then shrink each one for sharing.
How chains workEvery tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
Yes. Every recording in the queue is split with the same setting. Add the files themselves, not a folder.
Yes. Split Audio can be a chain step, and the steps after it run once on every piece.
No. Each cut falls in the middle of a pause, so the pause is shared by the two pieces around it. Every second of the recording is kept.
In Fast mode, yes. The pieces are copied without re-encoding and keep the original format. Precise mode re-encodes for exact cuts.
Not in Split Audio. It splits by pauses, by length or by number of parts. To keep only part of a recording, use Trim Audio.
No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
Then pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
