How to build a soundboard online

  1. Add sounds: press Record a clip to capture from the mic, or drop in several audio files at once.
  2. Click a pad to open its editor — rename it, set trim start and end on the waveform, and give it a keyboard key.
  3. Fire your sounds by tapping pads or hitting the assigned keys.
  4. Your board auto-saves in this browser; export it as a .json file to back it up or carry it to another device.

This soundboard maker online is a pocket sampler for jokes, jingles and drops: collect your favorite clips, cut each one down to the perfect half-second, and trigger them instantly from pads or keyboard keys. Streamers keep reaction sounds within reach, D&D game masters fire ambience and stingers on cue, teachers run quiz buzzers, and friends build inside-joke boards that live entirely in the browser. Everything stays local — clips are never uploaded, the board persists on your device, and the .json export makes it portable. Free, unlimited pads within your storage, no signup.

FAQ

How do I make my own soundboard for free?
Record clips with your microphone or drop in audio files — several at once if you like. Each clip becomes a pad you can rename, trim on a waveform and assign to a keyboard key. Then play sounds by clicking the pads or hitting the keys, with no account and no app install.
Does my soundboard save between visits?
Yes — the board auto-saves in your browser storage on the same device. For backups or moving to another machine, export the whole board as a .json file and import it on the other side. Very large boards may exceed browser storage, so exporting is the safe long-term option.
Can I trim clips so only the good part plays?
Yes. Select a pad, open the editor and drag the trim start and trim end sliders on the waveform until only the moment you want remains. The trim is non-destructive, so you can readjust it any time.
Can I use it as a soundboard for Discord or streams?
It plays through your speakers or default output, so the simplest setup is letting your mic pick up the sound, or routing browser audio into your stream with a virtual audio cable. The keyboard triggers make firing clips mid-conversation fast.
