How to remove silence from audio online — 4 steps

  1. Upload audio: drag or pick an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, or OGG file (up to 100 MB).
  2. Set the silence threshold: -45 dB suits most; stricter if noisy, more sensitive if the voice is quiet.
  3. Set duration & padding: choose the minimum silence length to cut and the margin kept on each side.
  4. Trim & download: see how much was removed, then download the MP3 — no watermark, no signup.

The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and your files are never uploaded. Removing silence makes podcasts, voiceovers, lectures, and interviews sound tighter and more professional, while also shortening the duration and file size. Completely free with no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

How does the silence remover work?

It analyzes loudness in 20ms windows and marks parts below your silence threshold. If a silent stretch is longer than the minimum duration, its interior is cut while a small padding is kept on each side so speech is not clipped.

What threshold should I use?

The default -45 dB suits most voice recordings. If the background is a bit noisy, move toward -30 dB (stricter); if the voice is quiet or you want more sensitivity, move toward -60 dB.

What is the "minimum length to cut"?

Only silent stretches longer than this value get cut. Use 0.5s to keep short natural pauses, or lower it to trim small breaths too.

What is "keep padding" for?

It keeps a short margin (e.g. 0.1s) on each side of every cut so words do not run together or get clipped at the start/end.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Analysis and trimming happen with the Web Audio API + lamejs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, free and watermark-free.

What is it best for?

Podcasts, voiceovers, lecture recordings, interview audio — any voice recording with lots of silence you want to tidy up and make more professional.
