How to use the fade in & out tool

Fading a track in and out avoids abrupt starts and hard cuts at the end. This free online tool applies a fade-in envelope at the start of your audio and a fade-out envelope at the end, entirely in your browser.

  1. Upload your audioChoose a file. It decodes in your browser and its waveform is drawn to a canvas.
  2. Set fade lengthsEnter fade-in and fade-out durations in seconds and pick a curve, then press Apply fades.
  3. Preview and downloadListen to the result, then download it as a WAV file.

Linear vs. equal-power fade curves

A fade envelope is a gain multiplier that ramps between 0 and 1 over time. The shape of that ramp changes how the fade sounds, which is why this tool offers two curve types.

Linear fade

Volume rises or falls at a constant rate. It is simple and predictable, but can sound like it loses energy a little too quickly in the middle of the fade.

Equal-power fade

Volume follows a curved, sine-based ramp so perceived loudness changes at a more even rate, which usually sounds smoother to the ear.

Independent durations

Fade-in and fade-out lengths are set separately, so you can, for example, fade in quickly over half a second and fade out slowly over five seconds.

Automatic overlap handling

If your fade-in and fade-out durations would overlap on a short clip, both are scaled down proportionally so they meet cleanly without unexpected silence.

Fade in & out FAQ

What is the difference between linear and equal-power fades?

A linear fade changes volume at a constant rate, which can sound like it dips in the middle when crossfading. An equal-power fade uses a curved ramp so the perceived loudness changes more smoothly, which usually sounds more natural.

Can I set different fade-in and fade-out durations?

Yes. Set the fade-in and fade-out lengths independently in seconds, from zero up to the length of the file.

What happens if my fade durations overlap?

If the fade-in and fade-out regions would overlap, they are automatically scaled down so they meet in the middle without cutting into each other unexpectedly.

What audio formats can I upload?

Any format your browser can decode, including MP3, WAV, M4A and OGG. The faded result is exported as a WAV file.

Is my audio file uploaded to a server?

No. The fades are applied entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your file never leaves your device.
