Free online WAV editor
Edit WAV files in your browser. Cut, join, reorder, and clean up your audio on a timeline you can actually read — then export as WAV, or as MP3 if you need something smaller.
Edit your WAV file in four steps
- 1
Upload your WAV file
Drag and drop, or choose a file. WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and OGG all work.
- 2
Cut and arrange
Trim the edges, remove what you do not need, and drag sections into the right order.
- 3
Clean it up
Reduce background noise and even out the levels before you export.
- 4
Export or keep editing
Download as WAV or MP3, or keep refining inside Hilite.

Your uploaded files open directly in a focused editor view. Arrange your clips, preview the timeline, adjust transitions, and export when the track sounds perfectly right.

Common questions

- Yes, free to start. Larger files, saved projects, and some exports need a free Hilite account.
- No. Hilite edits in the browser, so there is nothing to download.
- Exporting back to WAV keeps the audio uncompressed. Exporting to MP3 compresses it, which is usually fine for speech and much smaller.
- Yes. Export your edited file as MP3 when you need something smaller.
- WAV stores audio uncompressed, so files are large but lose nothing. MP3 compresses it into a much smaller file, which is what most platforms want for the finished piece.
- Yes. The editor is designed to work across modern desktop and mobile browsers.
