What split modes are available?

You can split by specifying exact start and end times, dividing into equal-length parts, or using automatic silence detection to find natural break points. All processing runs locally on your server.

How does silence-based splitting work?

SnapOtter scans the audio for sections below a configurable decibel threshold and duration, then splits at those points. This is ideal for separating songs or chapters. Everything stays on your network.

What format are the output segments?

Segments use the same format as your input file by default. You can also choose a different output format. All files are processed on your self-hosted instance without external uploads.
