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

  1. Choose the video that is too quiet.
  2. Under "How do you want to edit it?", pick "Change the volume".
  3. Press "As loud as it goes". You can also halve it, soften it, or double it.
  4. Press the button to make the file with the new volume.

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.
