Song Cut Calculator: Final Length After Trimming Intro/Outro

Enter a song’s full length and how much you plan to cut from the intro and/or outro to see the exact final length and percentage removed.

This tool subtracts the intro and outro trims you specify from the full song length, then reports the final length and what percentage of the song those cuts represent.

Intro to cut (mm:ss, optional):

  • Radio edits and clean edits are common in the music industry specifically to fit broadcast time slots or remove explicit content.
  • Many DJs trim long intros and outros from tracks specifically to make beatmatching and transitions easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this for just an intro cut or just an outro cut?

Yes, leave the field you are not using blank and it will be treated as zero.

What if my cuts add up to more than the song length?

The tool will let you know the cuts exceed the song length rather than showing a negative result.
