Frequently asked questions
Can I split a podcast episode by chapter markers?+
Yes — if your podcast episode has embedded chapter metadata (ID3 chapter tags or Podlove Simple Chapter format), the splitter can use these as split points. You can also define custom time markers manually. Each segment is named by its start time or chapter title.
Does splitting audio at time points reduce quality?+
For uncompressed WAV and FLAC, splits are sample-accurate with no quality loss. For MP3, splits at keyframe boundaries are lossless; splits between keyframes require a brief re-encode of the boundary frames. The overall quality loss is negligible.
What is the best way to split a long interview into clips for social media?+
Use silence detection to find natural pause points, then trim each identified segment to your target length (60 seconds for Instagram Reels, 3 minutes for YouTube Shorts). Alternatively, identify your desired clips by timestamp and use the manual time-range split to extract each one.
