A useful cleanup tool, with real limits.
This tool uses adjustable spectral noise reduction. It works best on steady noise such as hiss and room hum. It cannot reconstruct missing speech, separate overlapping speakers, or guarantee removal of music, wind or echo. It does not remove silences or change the length of your recording.

Audio cleanup questions
Can I remove background noise from a video?
Yes. Choose a supported recording and preview the cleaned audio. MP4 video download requires an H.264 source; other supported video files can be downloaded as cleaned MP3 audio.
Is audio cleanup free to use?
File cleanup runs in your browser with no account or processing minutes. YouTube imports require sign-in and are rate-limited. Files and imported videos can be up to 100 MB and 5 minutes. Speed and availability depend on your browser, device and the source.
Is my recording uploaded?
Files you choose are cleaned on your device and are not uploaded. If you paste a link to your YouTube video, ClipSnitch temporarily imports it and transfers it to your browser. Cleanup still runs locally. Imported files are removed from the server after transfer or cancellation.
Can it remove music, echo or overlapping voices?
This tool uses spectral noise reduction and works best on steady background hiss and room noise. It does not separate speakers or guarantee removal of music, wind or echo. Compare the result and reduce strength if desired sounds are softened.
Does cleanup change my original recording?
No. The original is never overwritten. Cleanup does not cut silences or change the length of the recording. Download the cleaned version before closing this tab.
Can I use the cleaned recording for captions or clips?
Yes. Download the result and choose it in the subtitle editor, transcription tool or clip generator. Those tools use their own account and processing-minute rules.
Can I clean audio from a YouTube link?
Yes. Paste a link to a YouTube video you own or have permission to use, up to 5 minutes, and sign in to import it. Available H.264 video streams up to 1080p are supported within the 100 MB limit. Private, age-restricted and live videos may not import; choose the original file instead.
