Audio Normalize
Boost or attenuate audio to a target loudness — peak (max amplitude) or RMS (average energy). Exports a lossless WAV. Useful when mixing podcast episodes, levelling voiceovers, or preparing audio for upload.
Boosts (or attenuates) audio to a target peak level. Exports a lossless WAV.
How to use Audio Normalize
- Pick an audio file.
- Set target dBFS (e.g. −1 for broadcast).
- Pick Peak or RMS mode.
- Click Normalize and Download WAV.
What is Audio Normalize?
Peak normalize finds the loudest sample and scales the whole signal so that peak hits your target (e.g. −1 dBFS is conventional for broadcast). RMS normalize is roughly proportional to perceived loudness — better when you have multiple takes you want to feel equally loud.
FAQ
- RMS vs Peak — which should I use?
- Use Peak when you want to prevent clipping and don't care about perceived loudness. Use RMS when you want multiple files to feel equally loud (closer to LUFS-style normalization).
- Is my audio file uploaded to a server?
- No — all processing happens locally in your browser. Your audio file never leaves your device, so your recordings stay completely private.
- Will normalizing reduce the audio quality?
- Peak normalization is lossless since it just scales the waveform. RMS normalization may cause clipping if the peak limit is hit, but the exported WAV avoids lossy compression artifacts.
