What is a soundboard?
A soundboard is a grid of one-tap sound buttons — the airhorns, memes, stingers and catchphrases streamers, podcasters and Discord callers fire off on cue. SnipSound's soundboard maker lets you build your own from audio you add, name each clip, and bind it to a keyboard key so it plays the instant you press it. Everything runs in your browser, so there's no upload, no account, and no cost.
Ways to use it

Frequently asked questions
Is this soundboard maker free?
Completely free — no sign-up, no watermark, no limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to charge for.
Where are my sounds stored?
Only in this browser, on your device (in local storage). Nothing is uploaded to a server. Your board is here next time you visit — but clearing your browser data or using a different device/browser starts fresh.
How do I assign a hotkey?
Click the key badge on a pad, then press any key. Press that key any time (as long as you're not typing in a text box) to play the clip. Click the badge again to change or clear it.
Can I play more than one sound at once?
Yes — each tap or keypress plays a fresh instance, so sounds can overlap. Use “Stop all” to silence everything at once.
What audio formats can I add?
Anything your browser can decode — MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, FLAC.
Does my audio get uploaded anywhere?
No. Files are read and played locally with the Web Audio API — they never leave your device.
