AAC is MP3's better-trained successor: cleaner sound from the same number of bits. Advanced Audio Coding: the default soundtrack of YouTube, iTunes and most MP4 video.

Born
1997, an MPEG all-star team: Fraunhofer, Dolby, Sony, AT&T and Nokia
Type
audio · lossy
Typical size
similar to MP3, but it sounds better at the same bitrate: or the same at about 25% smaller
Plays on
Apple everything, YouTube, Android, modern players; patchy on legacy gear.
Fun fact
Every song Apple has sold on iTunes since day one has been AAC, not MP3.

Trimming AAC without touching the quality

Flippy trims AAC with stream copy: it slices at the nearest safe boundary and copies the data straight across: no re-encoding, no quality loss, and it's near-instant even on big files. Your AAC's encoding is never touched, so a trimmed file sounds exactly like the original: just shorter.

How to trim an AAC file

  1. 1

    Drop your AAC into the trimmer: the waveform draws itself.

  2. 2

    Drag the two handles around the part of the audio you're keeping.

  3. 3

    Hit Cut and download the piece: stream copy means your AAC keeps its exact quality, near-instantly.

Questions people ask

Does trimming an AAC re-encode it?

No: Flippy uses stream copy, so the trimmed AAC keeps the exact original quality and the cut takes seconds, not minutes.

Will I lose quality working with AAC here?

None. Stream copy moves your AAC's data untouched; only the length changes.

Is this AAC trimmer really free?

Yes: free for everyday use with no daily cap, no signup, and your files delete themselves from our servers within an hour.
