◆ Audio Cutter
Trim an MP3 to the exact second, fade it in and out, and export it as a ringtone your phone will actually use — M4R for iPhone, MP3 for Android. You can even drop in a video and keep only its sound.
Export as
M4R for an iPhone ringtone
MP3 at 128, 192 or 320 kbps
What it is for
One tool, three everyday jobs. Pick a range on the waveform, preview just that part, and export.
Keep the chorus, drop the silence at the start, or grab a single line. The cut is precise to the millisecond because the audio is always re-encoded, not roughly copied.
Export M4R for iPhone or MP3 for Android. A fade out stops the ringtone ending abruptly, and the page warns you if an iPhone ringtone runs past 40 seconds.
Drop in an MP4 or MOV and the picture is dropped, leaving just the sound. Handy for pulling a quote or a piece of music out of a clip.
Formats and quality
Ringtones
Cut the clip to 30 seconds or less and export M4R. On a computer, open Finder (or iTunes on Windows), connect the iPhone and drag the .m4r file across — or use GarageBand on the phone to share it as a ringtone. Then pick it under Settings › Sounds & Haptics › Ringtone.
Export MP3 and copy it into your phone's Ringtones folder over USB or with a file manager. Open Settings › Sound › Phone ringtone and choose your file — many phones let you add it directly with a “+”.
Privacy
Step by step
Drop in an audio file — MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG or FLAC — or a video to grab its sound. The waveform appears so you can see where to cut.
Drag the two handles or type exact times, and press play to preview only the selection. Add a fade in or out and choose the format.
The server renders the clip and it downloads straight away, ready to use as a ringtone or share.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Export the M4R format, which is the ringtone format iOS uses. Keep it to 30 seconds to be safe (the page warns you past 40 seconds), then transfer it with Finder, iTunes or GarageBand.
Yes, to the millisecond. The audio is re-encoded rather than roughly copied, so the start and end land exactly where you set them and fades are applied cleanly.
Yes. Drop an MP4 or MOV file in and the video is discarded, leaving only the sound to cut and export.
MP3 (128, 192 or 320 kbps), M4R, M4A, WAV and OGG. MP3 is the safe default; M4R is for iPhone ringtones; WAV is lossless.
The file is sent to Bubixo's own server to be cut, because the cutting is done with FFmpeg. The source is deleted the moment processing finishes, nothing is shared, and no account is needed.
Files bought from the iTunes Store as protected .m4p are DRM-locked and cannot be opened by any editor. Use a DRM-free MP3, M4A or AAC file instead.
