Trim audio: common questions

Why does it save as WAV rather than MP3?

Browsers can decode MP3 but have no built-in way to create one. Saving as WAV adds no further compression loss and opens almost anywhere, but it's larger, about 10 MB a minute for CD-quality stereo.

Why is my trimmed file bigger than the original?

Your original is compressed and WAV isn't. A short WAV can be larger than a long MP3.

Can I use it on the sound from a video?

Yes, if your browser can read that video's audio. The picture is ignored and you get the audio only.
