How do I cut audio from a YouTube video?
Paste the video URL in From URL, wait for the audio to load, set trim points on the waveform, and export your clip. You can also upload a video or audio file you saved locally if the link cannot be fetched in the browser.
Why did my YouTube link not work?
Some YouTube URLs cannot be loaded in the browser due to platform restrictions. Download the audio with a method you trust, then upload it here to cut. The trim, fade, volume, and export tools are identical after the track is in the editor.
Is cutting YouTube audio legal?
You are responsible for having rights to the content you edit. Use this tool only on material you own or are licensed to use. VMEG provides editing capability; compliance with copyright and platform terms is up to you.
What format should I export?
MP3 for sharing, WAV for editing, M4A/AAC for Apple devices. All four are available on export after you trim. Pick the format that matches how you will reuse the clip — social, DAW, or phone playback.
Do I need an account?
Preview and edit are free in your browser. Sign in to download. Test multiple in and out points and optional fades before saving your exported clip.
