About Normalize audio

Fix recordings that are too quiet or wildly uneven. The tool measures loudness the way streaming platforms do and adjusts to a standard target, −16 LUFS by default, so your audio sits at the same level as everything else.

  • −16 LUFS suits podcasts and voice; −14 LUFS is the YouTube and Spotify target.
  • Peaks are limited so loud parts do not clip.
  • Run Remove silence first for the tightest result.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop a video or audio file.
  2. 2Keep the podcast target or pick one for YouTube or broadcast.
  3. 3Download the normalized file.

Questions

What is LUFS?
A measure of perceived loudness used by streaming services. Matching their target means your audio will not be turned down or sound quiet.
Will it change the sound?
Only the level. The tone and dynamics stay the same apart from gentle peak limiting.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
