How it works
Drop a video or audio file in. WavyVid analyzes the audio for pauses right in your browser.
Adjust the sensitivity and minimum pause length with a live preview — see exactly what gets cut before committing to anything.
Export once you're happy with the preview. Nothing is cut until you confirm.
When you'd use this
- You just wrapped recording an episode and want the thinking pauses and breath gaps trimmed before publishing.
- A co-host or guest talks slower than you and leaves longer gaps that make the episode drag.
- You want your show to sound tightly edited without paying for a subscription editing tool to do it.
Frequently asked questions
What's different about the Podcast preset?
It's tuned to be a bit more aggressive about cutting than the other presets, since podcast dead air tends to be more frequent and less intentional than pauses in scripted or interview content.
Can I export the trimmed audio only, without video?
Yes — if you upload an audio file, the output stays audio-only. Video is only involved if you upload a video file.
How does this compare to Descript's silence removal?
Same core idea — detect and trim silence automatically — but free, with no account, no watermark, and nothing ever uploaded to a server.
Should I clean noise before or after cutting silence?
Either order works; many people cut silence first (shorter file, faster subsequent steps) then clean noise, but there's no functional difference in the final result.
Will this handle a two-host recording with overlapping talk?
It works on overall volume, so brief overlaps generally stay above the silence threshold and won't get flagged — only genuine quiet gaps between speaking get trimmed.
