Merge Audio Files – Join MP3, WAV, M4A and More

Combine voice notes, song parts or podcast segments into a single track, in the order you choose. Your files are joined on your device and never uploaded.

How to merge audio files

  1. Add your audio files. Drag two or more files onto the box above or tap it to choose them. You can add more files at any time.
  2. Put them in order. The files are joined from top to bottom. Drag a file by its handle, or use the up and down arrows, to change the order. Each row shows the file size and length.
  3. Choose what goes between files. Under Between files, pick Back to back, Silence or Crossfade. For silence and crossfade, enter the length in seconds, from 0.1 to 10.
  4. Choose a format. Pick MP3 (with a quality from 128 to 320 kbps) or uncompressed WAV under Save as.
  5. Press Merge and download. A progress bar follows the work. Listen to the merged track on the page, then download it.

Features

  • Drag-and-drop ordering with a handle for mouse and touch, plus arrow buttons for keyboard and screen reader users.
  • Three ways to join: back to back, with a pause of silence, or with a smooth crossfade.
  • Mix any formats – MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC and more in the same merge.
  • Automatic matching of sample rates and mono or stereo, so there are no speed or pitch glitches at the joins.
  • MP3 or WAV output, with a choice of MP3 bitrate.
  • Running total of the file count and the expected length, updated as you add files or change the join.
  • Friendly errors that name the exact file that has no sound, can't be read or is too short for the crossfade.

Why use Fileora to merge audio

Joining audio online usually means uploading every file, waiting, and downloading the result again. With Fileora, the whole job happens in your browser. Your recordings stay private, there's no account, no watermark and no added sound, and you can merge as often as you like. The audio engine downloads once (about 31 MB) and is then cached, so later merges start right away.

It also saves you a step: you don't need to convert files to the same format first. Drop in a WAV from a recorder, an M4A voice memo from an iPhone and an MP3 from a laptop, and they come out as one clean track.

Ideas for merging

Put a podcast together from an intro, the main recording and an outro. Join the separate voice notes of a long message into one file that's easier to share. Combine the chapters of a recorded lesson with two seconds of silence in between. Or build a short mix of your own songs with a three-second crossfade so each one blends into the next.

Preparing your clips

For the cleanest result, cut each clip to the right length first with Trim Audio, which can also add a fade in and fade out. If a part you need is the soundtrack of a video, get it out with Extract Audio from Video and then add it to the list here. Choose WAV when you'll keep editing the merged file, and MP3 when you want a file that is ready to share and plays everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I join several MP3 files into one?

Drop all the files into the box above. They appear in a list; drag them by the handle or use the arrow buttons to put them in order. Choose what goes between the files, pick MP3 or WAV under Save as, and press the Merge button. When it's done, listen to the result and download it.

Can I merge files in different formats?

Yes. You can mix MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, Opus, FLAC and other audio files in one merge. Each file is decoded and converted to the same sample rate and channel layout before joining, so they play back seamlessly as one track.

What happens if my files have different sample rates or some are mono?

The merged file uses the highest sample rate among your files, rounded to a standard rate and capped at 48 kHz, and it is stereo if any of the files is stereo. Mono files are then played on both channels. You don't need to prepare anything yourself.

What is the difference between silence and crossfade?

Silence adds a pause of the length you choose after every file except the last, which suits separate recordings like voice notes or lessons. Crossfade overlaps the end of one file with the start of the next and fades between them, which suits music. With a crossfade the total length gets shorter by the crossfade time at every join.

Why does it say a file is too short for the crossfade?

A crossfade needs enough audio on both sides of every join. The first and last files must be at least as long as the crossfade, and files in the middle at least twice as long, because they fade in and out. Choose a shorter crossfade or remove the short file.

Is there a limit on the number of files?

There is no fixed limit. The practical limit is your device's memory, because all files are processed in the browser. A dozen songs or an hour of voice recordings is no problem on most computers; on phones, very long merges may need to be split into parts.

Are my audio files uploaded?

No. The merge runs in a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg inside your browser tab, so the files stay on your device from start to finish.
