Use cases

When this comes in handy

Smooth out a recording's start or end

Avoid an abrupt start or a hard cutoff on a voice memo, podcast clip, or field recording.

Prepare a clip for a playlist

Add a short fade out so a track doesn't end jarringly before the next one.

Soften a sample before looping

Fade the edges of a sample slightly so a loop doesn't click or pop at the seam.

FAQ

Common questions

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding, preview playback, fading, and export all happen locally in your browser.

What's the difference between the curve options?

Linear ramps at a constant rate. Smooth (an S-curve) eases in and out of the ramp, which often sounds more natural. Exponential starts slowly and speeds up, which can sound more even to the ear for fade-outs in particular. All three start at silence and end at full level.

Can the fade in and fade out overlap?

No. If the two lengths you choose would overlap, you'll see a message asking you to shorten one of them.

Can I preview the fade before exporting?

Yes. Preview plays the clip with the fade applied before you export anything.

What audio formats can I upload?

Whatever your browser's built-in audio decoder supports — most browsers handle MP3, WAV, M4A, and OGG. If a file can't be decoded, you'll see a clear message rather than a silent failure.
