MAKE YOUR NEXT CLIP.

Shorten a Song for TikTok & Reels

FROM IDEA TO DOWNLOAD

Here’s how to make it yours

01
Bring your recording
Upload audio or a video’s soundtrack. This is an editor for your file, not a TikTok link downloader.
02
Pick a starting length
Try 15, 30 or 60 seconds, or enter a custom duration. Tell us which moment you want people to hear.
03
Preview it like a viewer
Listen to the opening and ending. Revise the clip, then download it for your editing or posting workflow.

ONE WAY TO USE IT · ILLUSTRATION

Make the opening count

For a 30-second post, start later and keep the final phrase. Tell the assistant where that moment is; it does not automatically recognize every chorus or drop.

Try your version

A long introductionYour chosen moment first

Choose the clip for the post you have in mind

A quiet opening may suit a reveal; a later section may reach the part you love sooner. There is no universal best clip. Preview it against your idea and ask for a different start if it feels wrong.

Duration buttons are creative starting points, not platform limits. This tool does not post to TikTok, Reels or Shorts or grant music rights. Use recordings you have permission to edit.

A few things you might be wondering

Can I use this for YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Make an audio edit for your own workflow. The tool does not add captions, resize the picture or publish a Short.

Can I paste a TikTok sound link?

No. Add a file from your device. This does not download platform-library music or unlock unavailable sounds.

Can I use another length?

Yes, up to three minutes. If you add a target video, its duration determines the finished length.
