Remove Silence
Remove silence from audio
Take the long pauses out of a podcast, lecture, interview or voice memo. A speech detector finds where nobody is talking and shortens every pause to the length you choose, even with background noise; speech stays as it is.

Frequently asked questions
How are the pauses found?
In Voice mode a small speech detection model (Silero VAD) listens for speech in your browser, so pauses are found even over a fan or traffic noise. Volume mode counts the quiet parts as pauses, which suits music and sound effects.
Will it cut off the start or end of words?
No. A little room is left around speech and each pause is shortened from its middle, so words keep their natural lead-in and fade.
How long should the pauses be?
Around 0.3 to 0.5 seconds keeps speech sounding natural. Set 0.1 seconds for a tight, fast edit.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The audio is analyzed and edited in your browser and never leaves your device.
