Questions and answers

How does it find the silence?

It measures how loud the sound is every 10 milliseconds. Where the sound stays below the level you set for longer than the minimum pause, that part is cut. A short margin is kept on both sides so words are not clipped.

What settings should I use?

Start with the defaults (quieter than -40 dB for at least 0.6 seconds). If breaths or room noise are left in, raise the level to -35 dB. If the ends of words get cut, lower it to -45 dB or make the margin longer.

Is the video re-encoded?

Yes, because the cuts can fall between key frames, the picture is encoded again with your device's hardware encoder at high quality. Audio files are saved as M4A.

Can it remove "um" and "uh" too?

Not yet: it cuts pauses, not filler words. To find filler words, make a transcript with our AI subtitle generator and edit it in Subtitle Studio.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The video is read and processed by your own browser, with your computer or phone doing the work. Nothing is sent to our servers, so it is safe for private videos too.

Which browsers work?

Chrome, Edge, Opera and Brave (version 94 or newer), Safari 16.4 or newer, and Firefox 130 or newer, on a computer or a phone. A computer is much faster for long videos.
