Make all your audio the same volume β€” without touching the volume dial. Ever jump from one song to the next and grab for the volume button? Or finish a podcast that's twice as loud as the one before? MP3Gain fixes that. It measures the true loudness of your audio and applies exactly the right amount of gain, so everything you listen to, share, or upload sounds even and professional. Quick for everyday fixes. Precise for creators. Three measurement modes cover every job: β€’ Peak β€” match tracks to a target peak level (in dB). β€’ RMS β€” match the average energy of your tracks for consistent perceived volume. β€’ EBU R128 (LUFS) β€” the international loudness standard used by streaming and broadcast platforms, with true-peak limiting. Built-in presets Start in one tap with presets tuned to real-world targets, and save your own for repeat jobs. β€’ Music β€” RMS -20 dB β€’ Podcast β€” EBU R128 -16 LUFS β€’ Voice β€” EBU R128 -18 LUFS β€’ Streaming Video β€” EBU R128 -14 LUFS β€’ Default β€” EBU R128 -23 LUFS Batch processing Import a whole album, playlist, or batch of files and normalize them all at once. Adjust one file and apply the same settings to every file in your list. Progress is shown per file, and you can cancel anytime. Hear it before you export Play the original and the processed version side by side in the app, so you know it sounds right before you save or share it. Keep your music intact MP3Gain preserves embedded album art and metadata. Lossy formats keep their original bitrate; lossless files are processed without additional lossy compression.

Audio Trimmer & Cutter

Features

Keep exactly the part you want. AudioTrim turns an audio file or the soundtrack from a video into a clean, shareable clip without the complexity of a desktop editor. Import audio or video from Files, or choose a video from Photos. AudioTrim reads the media locally, identifies its audio track, and moves you into a focused editor built around one job: selecting the section that should remain. Your original source stays separate from the new exported clip. SEE THE CUT BEFORE YOU MAKE IT A responsive waveform gives you visual context for the entire source. Drag the start and end handles, move the playhead, and preview the selected range before exporting. Duration, file size, sample rate, and channel count help you understand the source while clear time labels make the chosen section easy to verify. Adjust either boundary while keeping the other fixed as you listen. AudioTrim normalizes the chosen range to the source duration and keeps a minimum viable clip length, helping prevent an invalid selection before export. Return to the source screen and choose different media whenever the job changes. CLEAN UP SILENCE AND PAUSES Enable edge-silence cleanup to shorten quiet space at the beginning and end of your selected range. For spoken recordings, inner-pause removal can condense longer quiet gaps while preserving the audible sections around them. Choose a gentle, balanced, or stronger sensitivity to fit the source. SHAPE THE FINISHED CLIP Add a fade in, a fade out, or both for a smoother start and finish. Repeat the selected result when you need a loopable cue, practice phrase, reference sound, or repeated prompt in one exported file. Preview the range again before committing to the trim. Export choices adapt to the current source. IMPORT, EXPORT, AND SHARE Start with local audio in Files, a local video that contains audio, or a video from Photos. This makes it simple to keep a line from a personal video, shorten a recording, save a lecture highlight, isolate a podcast moment, prepare a music reference, or create a compact sound clip from media you already have. During export, AudioTrim shows progress and lets you cancel. When processing finishes, review the result and its file size, then share it with the iOS share sheet or save it to Files. The workflow remains organized around Source, Trim, and Result, so there are no tracks, layers, or project bins to manage. AudioTrim remembers useful defaults such as silence cleanup, pause sensitivity, fades, repeat choices, network optimization, and supported export selections. Reset them anytime in Settings. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Media analysis and trimming happen on your device. AudioTrim is intentionally a focused cutter rather than a multitrack workstation, recorder, merger, ringtone maker, or cloud production suite. It gives you a direct way to select, clean, shape, and export one useful clip while keeping the workflow compact. WHY AUDIOTRIM β€’ Precise waveform selection and preview β€’ Edge-silence cleanup β€’ Adjustable inner-pause removal β€’ Fade in and fade out β€’ Repeat a clip in one output β€’ Source-compatible presets and audio formats β€’ Import audio or video from Files β€’ Import video from Photos β€’ Local media processing β€’ Export progress and cancellation β€’ Share or save the finished result LIFETIME ACCESS: - The first five successfully completed audio trims are included at no charge in total. Importing media, validation failures, cancellations, and failed exports do not use a trim. - After the fifth completed trim, Lifetime Access is required for additional trimming. It is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that unlocks unlimited trims. It is not a subscription and does not renew or expire. - Apple processes the purchase through StoreKit. Restore Purchases is available in Settings for the Apple ID used to buy Lifetime Access.
