How to edit a WAV file online

Trim and arrange a WAV recording, then choose sample rate, PCM bit depth, and mono or stereo output. Free, with no signup or added watermark.

  1. 1

    Upload one WAV file

    Choose a WAV recording from your device. This page accepts one source file; use Audio Joiner to combine different recordings.

  2. 2

    Keep the passages you need

    Select Cut, adjust the handles, then Confirm cut to keep a range. Duplicate before trimming to retain separate passages from the same source. Arrange the clips and add optional fades.

  3. 3

    Choose WAV output settings

    Set Sample rate, PCM bit depth, and Channels to match the receiving app or client. The defaults are 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo—not automatic source preservation.

  4. 4

    Review size and export

    Check the estimated PCM size, preview the edit, and download the new WAV.

Choose WAV settings and understand the file size

Output settingsWhen to choose themApprox. one-minute PCM size
48 kHz / 24-bit / StereoA video or production handoff that requests these settings17.28 MB
44.1 kHz / 16-bit / StereoA destination accepting standard stereo PCM; this page’s default10.58 MB
44.1 kHz / 16-bit / MonoA single-channel recording where stereo is unnecessary5.29 MB
22.05 kHz / 16-bit / MonoA destination explicitly accepting lower-bandwidth speech2.65 MB

Prepare a WAV for its next destination

Use the destination’s requirements to choose settings. Bigger files and higher numbers do not automatically improve a recording.

Deliver a voiceover for a video

Trim setup chatter and leave the spoken ending intact. If the editor requests 48 kHz / 24-bit PCM, select those settings explicitly. Preview fades and export the WAV; keep the original take separately.

Prepare a mono speech recording

Keep the useful spoken passage, choose Mono, and match a supported sample rate to the receiving system. Listen for level changes when stereo channels are mixed. This page does not offer 16 kHz or create a transcript.

Extract a sound effect

Use Cut to retain a hit or short ambience, then preview both boundaries. A short fade can soften a click but can also soften the initial attack. Export PCM for further editing; automatic beat detection and seamless-loop generation are not included.

Make a smaller PCM delivery copy

Shorten unused audio and choose only the channels and bit depth the destination needs. Compare the size estimate before export. If the file is still too large for sharing, use Audio Converter for a compressed copy rather than renaming the WAV.

Try a 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV handoff

Use this example only when those settings match your delivery requirements. It works with your own WAV recording.

  1. 1

    Trim and preview

    Open one WAV, choose Cut, adjust the retained range, and Confirm cut. Play the project to check the start and end.

  2. 2

    Set the delivery parameters

    Under WAV output, select 48 kHz, 24-bit, and Stereo. Check Estimated size. For one minute, the audio payload is approximately 17.28 MB in decimal units, plus a small header.

  3. 3

    Export and check the destination

    Choose Export WAV. Open the downloaded file in the receiving application and check its duration, channels, and sample rate before handing it off. The source is not overwritten.

What this WAV editor preserves—and what it changes

PCM output, not a bit-perfect archive

The editor decodes and renders audio. Resampling, fades, gain, channel mixing, and bit-depth changes alter sample values. Exporting PCM avoids lossy audio compression, but does not guarantee a byte-identical copy or preservation of source metadata.

32-bit means integer PCM

Choose 16, 24, or 32-bit integer PCM. The 32-bit setting is not a 32-bit float delivery format and cannot recover clipped audio or detail missing from the source. Sample rates available here are 22.05, 32, 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz.

One source, up to 10 clips

Import one WAV and duplicate its passages up to the 10-clip timeline limit. Rendered output is limited to 30 minutes. Decoding large WAVs can consume substantial device memory; keep projects shorter on mobile.

Free local-file editing

No account, payment, or added audio watermark is required. Local files are processed in your browser; remote imports and the first encoder download use network requests. Keep the original and download your result before closing the page.

Questions before you export

Why does a higher setting not sound better?

Higher output sample rate or bit depth does not recreate missing detail. Choose settings for compatibility and the next production step, not as an automatic enhancement.

Why is the size different from the estimate?

PCM payload size is duration × sample rate × channels × bytes per sample. The displayed estimate is approximate; headers and sample rounding affect the final size. The comparison above uses decimal MB.

Why can’t I add another WAV?

This page edits one source and its duplicated passages. Use Audio Joiner for multiple recordings, or Audio Editor for a broader multi-file workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit WAV without reducing quality?

Cutting and arranging can be rendered to PCM WAV without lossy compression. Changing sample rate, bit depth, or channels changes the stored audio data.

Use 44.1 kHz for common music delivery and 48 kHz for video and many production workflows.

Use 16-bit for smaller compatible delivery files and 24-bit when additional level resolution matters during production.

Yes. Mono stores one mixed channel and can substantially reduce PCM file size.

PCM WAV stores every sample. Size grows directly with duration, sample rate, bit depth, and channel count.

Use the full Audio Editor or Audio Converter when the destination needs a compressed format.
