Cut a clip out of a recording, top and tail a song, or strip the dead air from a voice memo. Set cuts on a waveform in the Studio, or type one start and end for a whole batch. A single cut copies out with no quality loss.

Tour the Studio
Each mark is a moment in the recording above. Pick one to play it from there.
Trim audio in three steps
MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, Opus and M4A.
Type a start and end for every file, or open the Studio and keep as many spans as you like on the waveform. Remove silences finds the quiet gaps for you.
Kept spans are joined into one file, in the source format where possible. Add a Declick, Short or Long fade for clean edges.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose how to cut
Fast copies a single span out untouched, so nothing is lost. Precise re-encodes, which unlocks several spans, fades, exact cuts and automatic silence removal.
One span, copied out with no quality loss.
Best for topping and tailing a recording.
Several spans joined, with fades and exact cuts.
Best for pulling the best parts of an interview into one file.
Quiet gaps cut, spoken parts kept.
Best for voice memos, lectures and rambling takes.

The alternative
Audacity is free and does far more editing than Hangar, so for the odd trim it is a fine choice. Hangar is quicker when the same cut repeats across many files, or when a cut is all you need.
Audacity: the free, open-source audio editor for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Who uses it
Cut the small talk before the interview and the long pauses inside it.
Hangar for podcastersTrim a rehearsal recording down to one take and fade it in and out.
Cut a track to the length of your video before you add it.
Hangar for video and social creatorsOne 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 the long pauses, even out the volume, then shrink the file before the episode goes to your host.
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.
