About Remove silence

Long pauses make recordings drag. Set a loudness threshold and a minimum pause length, and the tool finds every stretch of dead air, shows them on a timeline, and removes the ones you keep ticked. Works on video and audio.

  • Keep a short padding, around 150 ms, so speech does not clip.
  • Lower the threshold for quiet speakers, raise it for noisy rooms.
  • Typical talking-head videos lose 10 to 25% of their length.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop a video or audio file.
  2. 2Adjust the threshold and minimum pause; review the detected cuts.
  3. 3Export the tightened file.

Questions

Will it cut out quiet speech?
Only below the threshold you set. The preview lets you untick any cut before exporting.
Does it work on audio-only files?
Yes. MP3, WAV and M4A are supported, with MP3 or WAV output.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
