Quick edits, no install
Most quick jobs don't need a full DAW: shave the silence off a voice memo, cut a cough out of an interview, fade the end of a DJ edit, or stitch two takes together. WAVR's editor does those in the browser tab you already have open.
The waveform is drawn from the real samples. Bar height shows the peak level and brightness shows loudness, so quiet passages and dense choruses are easy to tell apart at a glance. Hover over it and a magnifier zooms in three times under the pointer; scroll to zoom the whole view, or Shift+scroll to pan.
How to edit audio with WAVR
- Add a fileDrop audio onto the page. The Edit & process panel opens on the first file; for others, click the sliders icon in the queue.
- Select and editDrag across the waveform, then Trim, Cut or Fade. Every step can be undone.
- Save and exportClick Save edits to queue, choose a format (WAV 24-bit is preselected) and Convert all.
What you can do
- Trim to selection: keep only the selected part.
- Cut: remove the selection and close the gap.
- Fade in / out: linear, exponential, logarithmic or S-curve. With nothing selected, fades cover the first or last second.
- Crossfade: blend the end of one queued file into the start of another with an equal-power curve.
- Split at silence, a spectrogram, a loudness report and A/B preview live in the same panel. See the splitter and loudness meter pages.
Keyboard shortcuts

The editor also works with a screen reader: the current selection's start, end and length are announced as they change.
Audio editor questions
Does editing lower the quality of my audio?
Edits are applied to the decoded audio at full precision. Quality only changes when you export: WAV, AIFF and FLAC keep every sample, while MP3, M4A and OGG are lossy.
How many times can I undo?
There is no fixed limit. Each step stores only the audio it changed, so long edit sessions stay light on memory.
Is the editor free?
The waveform view, playback, zoom and trim are free. Cut, fades, crossfade, split at silence, the spectrogram, the loudness report and A/B preview are Pro tools, and are open to everyone while Pro is in beta.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The editor runs in your browser tab and the audio never leaves your device. Here's exactly what WAVR sends over the network.
