Remove silence from audio and video - automatically
Drop in a podcast, lecture, or screen recording. Skip Silence finds quiet parts, speeds them up, and exports a tighter file right in your browser.
How it works
Skip Silence is a free silence remover for audio and video files. It detects quiet sections locally, then lets you shorten pauses while keeping control over the final edit.

Remove silent parts from more than one kind of recording
Remove silence from audio
Use Skip Silence as an online audio silence remover for podcasts, voice notes, interviews, narration, meetings, and long recordings. It finds low-volume pauses and lets you shorten them without cutting the whole file by hand.
Cut silence from video
Video exports keep picture and sound in sync while quiet parts are sped up. That makes it useful for screen recordings, recorded lessons, tutorials, demos, webinars, and talking-head videos with long pauses.
Speed up lectures and recordings
Long lectures and study recordings often have dead air between sentences or slide changes. Removing those silent gaps can make the file easier to review without changing the words you need to hear.
Tighten podcasts and interviews
For podcasts, interviews, and remote recordings, Skip Silence helps remove dead air before deeper editing. You can preview the highlighted silent sections before exporting the final audio or video.
Your files never leave your device
Skip Silence runs entirely in your browser. There are no servers processing your media, no accounts, and no uploads - which means it's fast, private, and works even with large files like multi-hour podcasts.
That no-upload workflow is especially useful for private interviews, client recordings, internal meetings, classes, and raw video files you do not want to send to a cloud editor.
Audio and video formats
Skip Silence supports common browser-readable media formats, including podcast audio, lecture recordings, phone videos, screen captures, and exported clips from other editing tools.
