# Cut an MP3

> Trim the start and end of an MP3, for a ringtone, an intro or a voice message. With a waveform and preview, no software needed.

The song should start at the chorus, or the recording ends with two minutes of silence? Load the file, drag start and end to the right spot in the waveform and listen to the section before you save.

## FAQ

### How long can an iPhone ringtone be?

40 seconds at most. So keep the section short enough.

### Can I cut something out of the middle?

No, the tool always keeps one continuous range between start and end.
