Remove silence from video

Cut the pauses out of a talking video automatically: it finds the quiet stretches, lets you hear the result before you make it, and joins the rest into a tighter MP4. Works on podcasts and other audio too, and runs on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

How to remove silence from a video

Choose your video, or a sound file, or drop it on the player. It measures the sound and marks every pause it would cut in red on the bar.
Pick a pace. Gentle cuts only long pauses, Natural cuts pauses over half a second, Tight cuts nearly every gap for a fast, punchy edit.
Play it. With Skip the silences on, it jumps over each cut as it plays, so you hear the result first. If background noise hides pauses, raise the threshold; if quiet words get cut, lower it.
Remove the silences, then download the MP4 (or an MP3 for a sound file).

Settings that sound natural

The paces and what they're for
Pace	Cuts pauses longer than	Kept around words	Good for
Gentle	1 s	0.25 s	Interviews, lessons, anything with thinking pauses
Natural	0.5 s	0.15 s	Talking-head videos and podcasts
Tight	0.3 s	0.08 s	Short clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts

Cutting every gap makes speech sound rushed and robotic, so keep a little around each word and leave pauses that land a joke or a point. For short clips, what matters most is the start: cut straight to the first word. More in how to make clips that go viral.

After cutting the pauses

Add word-by-word captions with the auto caption generator, make it 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts with the vertical video converter, or cut it into parts with the video splitter. If it still runs long, a gentle 1.1× or 1.25× with speed up video tightens it while the voice keeps its pitch. A fan or a hum under the voice? Take it out with the background noise remover.

A long recording has more than pauses to lose. To pull out the moments worth posting on their own, read how to turn one long video into a week of clips.

Questions

How do I remove silence from a video?

Choose the video and it finds the quiet stretches by itself. Pick a pace, play it to hear it without the pauses, adjust the threshold if needed, then press Remove the silences and download the MP4.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser measures the sound, cuts the video and saves the new file, all on your device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

What do the settings do?

The threshold is how quiet the sound has to be to count as silence. The shortest pause sets which gaps are cut, so short breaths between words can stay. Kept around words leaves a little of each pause so speech isn't clipped.

Does it remove filler words like um and uh?

No. It cuts quiet stretches, not words. An um is as loud as speech, so it stays. Cut those by hand in an editor after.

Can I remove silence from an audio file or a podcast?

Yes. Open an MP3, WAV or M4A and you get an MP3 back without the pauses. It works on up to 30 minutes of video or audio at a time.

Is it free? Is there a watermark?

It's free, with no watermark and nothing to sign up for.
