Frequently asked questions

Everything you might wonder about clipping audio in Benefic.

What does the clip tool do?

It copies a time range out of your audio file into a new file of the same format — no decoding or re-encoding. The output is bit-for-bit identical to the source within the chosen window, so lossless formats stay lossless and lossy formats do not pick up generational artifacts.

Which audio formats are supported?

Containers: FLAC, DSF, MP3, WAV, Ogg (Vorbis and Opus), AIFF, and MP4 (M4A). Codecs: FLAC, DSD, MP3, PCM, Vorbis, Opus, AAC, and ALAC.

Is there any quality loss?

No. The clipper does a byte-level copy of the audio stream within the selected window — there is no transcode step, so the sample data inside the output matches the sample data inside the source exactly.

How accurate are the start and end points?

Start and end snap to the nearest frame (or packet) boundary of the underlying codec. For PCM (WAV, AIFF) that is sample-accurate; for frame-based codecs (MP3, AAC, Opus, Vorbis) it lines up on the closest frame, which is typically within a few tens of milliseconds of the requested timestamp.

Do my audio files get uploaded to a server?

No. The clipper runs entirely in your browser as WebAssembly. Your audio is read and rewritten locally — nothing is sent over the network. Safe for private or unreleased tracks.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no hard cap. Practical limits come from your browser's available memory — modern desktop browsers handle multi-gigabyte lossless files without issue.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded. The clipper is a static page plus a WebAssembly module — after the first visit it will run without a network connection.

Is the audio clipper free to use?

Yes. It is free, requires no account, and has no upload or usage limits. Because it runs client-side there is no infrastructure cost to pass on.
