Why make a 15 second audio clip?
15 seconds is the magic number for social media. It is the maximum length for an Instagram Story slide, the standard length for a TikTok sound bite, and the perfect length for a quick audio teaser. If you have a longer track and you just want to share the best part, you need to crop it down.
This tool takes the hassle out of editing by giving you a simple interface designed specifically for pulling 15 second chunks out of larger files.
How to extract your clip
Upload your MP3 or audio file, and you will see the waveform on your screen. The selection box is locked to a maximum of 15 seconds, so all you have to do is drag it over the best part of the song.
We highly recommend using the fade in and fade out options so the clip doesn't start or end with a harsh click. Once you have it lined up perfectly, hit export and download your new clip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a clip shorter than 15 seconds?
Yes, absolutely. 15 seconds is just the maximum limit for this specific tool. You can drag the handles closer together to make a clip of any length under 15 seconds.
Why is the file size exactly the same as the original?
If you choose the lossless crop option, the tool does not re-compress the audio. The file size might remain relatively large because it keeps the maximum possible audio quality.
How do I add the clip to my TikTok?
Once you download the clip, you can upload it to TikTok using the "Upload Sound" option when creating a new video, or you can use our Audio to Video tool first.
