AudioEditDesk

Sometimes you just need to trim the dead air off a recording or turn an OGG into an MP3, and a full editor feels like overkill. AudioEditDesk is built for that small job. You choose a file from your device, pick the section to keep, apply a change and export. It opens MP3, WAV, M4A and OGG files and exports MP3 or 16-bit WAV.

The cutter, converter and loudness normaliser cover the everyday jobs. There's also a volume changer and fade in and out, plus a few effects: reverb, a low-pass filter, distortion and a slowed and reverb effect.

Two tools go further. Instrumental maker and Acapella extractor separate the vocals from the backing track, for singing or practice. Source files there are limited to 10 minutes and 100 MB, and the page warns that processing can take several minutes, or longer than the song on a phone. The terms ask you to use audio you own or have permission to edit.

In the main editor, desktop files can be up to 500 MB and mobile files up to 100 MB, and large files need more free memory. It works on one file at a time.

Refreshing or closing the tab clears your project, so download what you want to keep.

The tools are free from editing to download, with no account. According to the privacy page, audio files are processed in your browser and aren't uploaded to the site's servers. Google Analytics is used, and the same page explains that it records general details such as format and size range but not your audio or filename.

That privacy page carries no date. The site is signed by Jack with a support email, and no company is named. For a quick trim or conversion, it's worth a bookmark.
