Never cut out silence again.

The feature set is exactly the same, you get every Premium feature either way. The only difference is the term. Premium Lifetime (44,90 €) is perpetual and never expires. The 30-day pass (9,90 €) is valid for 30 days from activation and then ends automatically. Your account simply reverts to Basic at no further cost. Both are one-time payments. Neither is a subscription, nothing is charged automatically and nothing renews automatically. If you buy another pass while one is still running, the remaining time is simply extended by 30 days. You can switch from the pass to Lifetime at any time. While your pass is still running, the 9,90 € are credited. Lifetime then costs you a one-time 35,00 € instead of 44,90 €. Once your pass has expired, the regular price applies again.

Windows SmartScreen and browsers like Chrome or Edge require a so-called code-signing certificate, meaning a digital certificate that verifies who published the app. These certificates cost between €100 and €500 per year depending on the provider. For 925studios e.U. as a small sole proprietorship, that is simply not affordable right now. QuietCut is safe. If you see the warning, click “Keep anyway” or “More info → Keep anyway” in your browser. For Windows SmartScreen click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. Only download QuietCut from the official website or GitHub Releases.

Yes. The Basic plan of QuietCut is free and includes 1 hour of processing per month. Premium removes that limit and is a one-time payment: 9,90 € for the 30-day pass or 44,90 € for Lifetime. It is not a subscription, nothing renews automatically.

The only official website of QuietCut is quietcut.me. QuietCut is developed by 925studios e.U. from Austria. Other websites using a similar name are not affiliated with us. Only download QuietCut from quietcut.me or our official GitHub Releases.

QuietCut analyzes audio volume and detects segments below your chosen threshold. Those segments are then removed or skipped automatically. Using margins helps transitions feel more natural.

No, and never will. All processing is done locally on your PC. Your files are not uploaded or sent anywhere. QuietCut does not use any AI or machine learning. For statistical and analytical reasons we track the usage of the features of the app. This is done completely anonymously without connection to your user account. No personal data or file data is collected.

XML export is meant for editors and creates a cut timeline you can open and refine in your editing software. This export option is VERY fast (depending on your PC and storage speed). The MP4 export gives you a fully rendered video file right away, which will take longer depending on video length and your PC specs.

Extremely fast. The silence detection and cut timeline generation via XML export usually takes just a few seconds to minutes depending on your storage speed. A 2 hour video with 2 selected audio sources takes around 15 to 30 seconds on an NVMe SSD. The MP4 export speed depends on your PC hardware, but will take longer, comparable with typical video rendering times.

Yes, multiple audio tracks are supported. You can use individual dB thresholds if tracks have different volumes. This is especially useful for game + mic setups or generally video/audio files with multiple audio sources.

On the “Basic” plan you get a monthly amount of video edit credits. Which currently is 1 credit per month. 1 credit equals 1 hour of video/audio processing. The Premium version removes this limitation and is designed for frequent use.

This is usually caused by the threshold and margins. If too much gets removed, lower the threshold or increase margins. If too little is removed, raise the threshold slightly. A quick test run is the fastest way to dial it in. Premium users can use the audio preview feature to hear how the settings affect the cut before exporting.

Yes, you can save export settings as presets. The Basic plan includes 3 preset slots, while Premium gives unlimited slots. This makes it easy to reuse setups for different projects.

You can import common video and audio formats. If a file is not recognized, convert it first (for example with FFmpeg) to MP4 or WAV. Very large files may take a bit longer to load depending on your PC.

Yes, QuietCut is available for macOS. You can find the download link directly on the download page.

First, make sure you are using the newest release and that your operating system is up to date. On Windows, also check whether your antivirus is blocking the app. If it still happens, send me your app version, OS version, and if possible a log/screenshot so I can reproduce it.
