Audio Fade In / Out

Fade a file up from silence and back down again, with a curve you choose — enough to kill a click at the head of a sample or end a bounce without a hard cut.

Your file never leaves the tab. Decoding, fading and export all happen in your browser, and nothing is uploaded or stored.

Choose the file to fade

WAV, MP3, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, OGG — up to 250 MB.

Detail

How this works

A fade multiplies each sample by a gain that moves between silence and unity. Nothing is resampled or re-timed, so the file keeps its exact length and every sample outside the fade regions is untouched.

The curve decides how it feels. Equal power follows a quarter sine, which tracks perceived loudness and is the standard choice for music and crossfades. Linear moves evenly in amplitude, which reads as a slightly abrupt finish because hearing is logarithmic. Exponential holds low for longer and then rises, which is useful for risers and long ambient tails.

Two practical uses beyond aesthetics: a 5–20 ms fade in fixes the click that appears when a cut lands mid-waveform, and a fade out of a second or more prevents the abrupt stop that makes an otherwise finished bounce sound unfinished.
