Complete tool guide

Split Audio guide

Split one long recording into several files. Click the waveform to add split points, set exact positions with the Split position slider, or divide the file into 2, 4, or 8 equal parts. Every part can be previewed and downloaded individually or together as a ZIP file.

Your input is processed in the current browser tab and is not sent to the application server.

Why use this tool?

  • Create chapters, tracks, or segments from one file in a single pass.
  • Place split points visually in the silence between songs or sentences.
  • Divide a file into equal parts instantly for easier sharing or upload limits.
  • Download all parts at once as a ZIP with numbered, correctly ordered filenames.

Common use cases

  • Splitting a recorded lecture or meeting into topics.
  • Separating a vinyl or tape rip into individual songs.
  • Breaking a long podcast into shorter social media clips.
  • Cutting an audiobook recording into chapter files.
  • Removing a section from the middle by splitting around it and merging the remaining parts.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Choose or drag in the recording you want to split.

  2. 2

    Click the waveform where each new part should begin, move the Split position slider and select Add point, or choose 2, 4, or 8 equal parts.

  3. 3

    Review the list of split points and remove any you placed by mistake.

  4. 4

    Pick an output format and select Split audio. Preview each part, then download individual files or the ZIP.

Controls and results explained

Split points

Each point marks where one part ends and the next begins, so N points create N + 1 parts. Points are placed on exact audio frames and duplicates are ignored. You can add up to 100 points.

Equal parts

Choosing 2, 4, or 8 equal parts replaces the current points with evenly spaced ones. You can then add or remove points to adjust.

File naming

Parts are named after the source with a two-digit number, such as lecture-part-01.mp3, so they sort correctly. The ZIP is named after the source, such as lecture-split.zip.

Output format

All parts use the same format: MP3 or M4A at 192 kbps, OGG Vorbis, lossless FLAC, or uncompressed 16-bit WAV. The ZIP stores the files without recompressing them.

Worked examples

Split a lecture into four equal parts

Start with: lecture.mp3, 10:00 long

  1. Open lecture.mp3 and choose 4 equal parts.
  2. Keep MP3 as the format and select Split audio.
  3. Select Download all as ZIP.
lecture-part-01.mp3 … lecture-part-04.mp3 · 2:30.00 each
lecture-split.zip

Three evenly spaced points at 2:30, 5:00, and 7:30 create four parts of exactly 150 seconds.

Split an interview at two topic changes

Start with: interview.mp3, 9:30 long, with topic changes at 2:15 and 6:40

  1. Move the Split position slider to 2:15.00 and select Add point, then repeat at 6:40.00.
  2. Zoom in to check both points are in a pause; remove and re-add a point if needed.
  3. Choose WAV and select Split audio.
interview-part-01.wav · 2:15.00
interview-part-02.wav · 4:25.00
interview-part-03.wav · 2:50.00

Two split points create three parts. Their lengths add back up to the original 9:30.

Sample-accurate and gapless

Parts are cut on the same frame boundaries, so playing them back to back reproduces the original without missing or repeated samples. Compressed formats may add a few milliseconds of encoder padding.

Finding the right spot

Zoom in on the waveform and look for flat, low sections: these are pauses between words or songs. Splitting in silence avoids clicks and cut-off syllables.

Length limits

The recording must fit in 256 MB of decoded audio and 30 minutes. That is roughly 11–12 minutes of stereo or 23–25 minutes of mono audio.

Practical tips for better results

  • For spoken audio, split during a pause rather than at an exact clock time.
  • Start with equal parts, then remove a point and add a new one at the nearest pause.
  • Choose WAV or FLAC if the parts will be edited further.
  • Use the ZIP download to keep all parts together in the right order.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split an MP3 into equal parts?

Open the MP3, choose 2, 4, or 8 equal parts, pick MP3 as the output, and select Split audio. For other counts, add the split points yourself.

Can I split at an exact time?

Yes. Move the Split position slider until its readout shows the time you want, such as 2:15.00, then select Add point. The slider moves in 0.01-second steps, and points are rounded to the nearest audio frame.

Will splitting reduce the audio quality?

Choosing WAV or FLAC keeps every part lossless. MP3, M4A, and OGG re-encode each part, which is lossy but usually transparent at the bitrates used here.

Is the original file changed?

No. The source stays untouched on your device; the tool only creates new files that you choose to download.

What to check before using the result

  • Up to 100 split points per file.
  • All parts share a single output format.
  • Decoded audio is limited to 256 MB of memory and 30 minutes.
