Four promises
No upload
Your video is handled only on your own device. It is never sent anywhere, so you can safely use it with work or school videos.
Just pick
Pick Discord as the place you are sending to, and the size and the picture quality are set for you. There is nothing complicated to set up.
No watermark
Nothing is stamped onto your video, and there is no limit on how many you make.
Picture quality like the pros
We use the numbers people use in video work. If the picture quality is going to drop a lot, we tell you before you save.
How to use it
- Choose the video that is too quiet.
- Under "How do you want to edit it?", pick "Change the volume".
- Press "As loud as it goes". You can also halve it, soften it, or double it.
- Press the button to make the file with the new volume.
Bringing a quiet recording up as far as it can go
Meetings and talks come out quiet when the microphone is far away. “As loud as possible” finds the loudest point in the whole video and raises everything until that point is just short of clipping.
- The loudest point is matched to -1dBFS
- The gain is capped at eight times
- If the original is almost silent, there is nothing more to raise
Which setting to use
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Half | Calms down a video that is too loud |
| Quieter | For background playback |
| Louder | When it is only a little short |
| As loud as possible | Maximum without clipping — good for meeting recordings |
| Mute | Same as mute a video |
About distortion
Audio that was already clipped cannot be repaired — the information was lost at the microphone. Quiet audio, on the other hand, can be brought up. When recording, erring on the quiet side is safer.
“As loud as possible” reads the whole video to find the peak first, so the export takes a little longer.
When you only need the audio
For transcription, audio alone is easier to handle. Combine this with MP3 or M4A.
Tips from the pros
- "As loud as it goes" measures the whole soundtrack first, then raises it until the loudest moment sits just below clipping. That is safer than guessing a multiplier.
- Raising a nearly silent video only makes the hiss louder, so there is a cap on how far it will go.
- When you only change the volume, the picture is left completely untouched.
Common questions
How loud is "as loud as it goes"?
Just short of clipping (-1 dBFS). A little headroom is left because re-encoding can push peaks slightly higher.
Will the sound distort?
Anything past the limit is clamped, so it will not distort harshly. Sound that was already distorted cannot be repaired.
Can I make it quieter instead?
Yes — choose "Half" or "A little quieter".
Does the picture get worse?
Not if you only change the volume. If you also compress or trim, those choices apply as usual.
Does it work on long videos?
Yes. The sound is streamed rather than held in memory, so length is not a problem — it just takes longer.
