Free audio tools
Free audio tools that run in your browser
Check a recording and hear 20 seconds of it repaired, convert and cut audio, record your voice, or convert and enlarge your own video. Every tool is free and needs no account.
The tools
Grouped by what they do.
Each tool does its own work in your browser, and the file you choose is not uploaded for it. Many pages then offer to repair its first 20 seconds, and no audio is sent until you press that button. Without an account, the pages that fix a recording also check it in your browser first.

How the MP3 files are made

Questions
Before you choose a file.
Are these tools free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free and needs no account, and so does hearing the first 20 seconds of a recording repaired. Repairing a whole recording happens in the editor, which needs an account.
Is my file uploaded?
Not for a tool's own work, which happens in your browser; the video tools write the new video on your device. Pages that offer Repair the first 20 seconds send no audio until you press it. When your browser opened the file, only its first 20 seconds leave this browser; Solipsium repairs them on its server and deletes them within an hour. When it could not open the file, or the file runs longer than five minutes, a file of 25 MB or less goes to Solipsium's server, which keeps only its first 20 seconds and deletes them within an hour.
The pages that fix a recording use the home page's drop box: every page under Fix a recording except Make audio louder, and every page under Recordings people bring. When you are signed in, these pages, the home page and the family recordings page open a dropped file in the editor instead, which uploads it to your account; their drop box says so first. The server does record page visits, as the privacy notice explains.
Why does the voice recorder ask for the microphone?
It records your voice in the browser, so your browser asks you first. The recording stays in that tab until you download it; audio leaves only if you press Repair the first 20 seconds. The recorder is the only one of these tools allowed to ask for the microphone; the others cannot use it.
Why will my file not open?
The tools use your browser's own decoder, so what opens depends on the browser. AMR, the format many Android phones save voicemails in, does not open in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, and CAF and AIFF files open only in Safari. The audio converter lists which browsers open each format. On the pages that fix a recording, the 20-second try can still send a file of 25 MB or less to Solipsium's server, which may open it.
Hear a repair on your own recording.
Drop a recording on the home page: without an account, it is checked in your browser for clipping, hum and noise, and you can hear its first 20 seconds repaired.
The check and the 20-second try need no account.
