Why normalize the audio of a video

One even volume across the file

Normalizing levels the audio track, so a quiet passage and a loud one end up much closer together and the peaks are taken out.

Nothing to set up

There is no target volume to type in and no threshold to tune. The settings panel asks for one thing, the output format, and that is the whole panel.

Ten containers to choose from

MP4 is the default, and MKV, MOV, AVI, WEBM, WMV, FLV, OGV, 3GP and 3G2 are all one pick away in the settings panel.

What happens when you normalize audio?

Normalizing your video's audio track does two things. It keeps the volume of your videos at a similar level and reduces loud peaks in the audio.

It is one option with two states, on or off. There is no level, no target figure and no threshold, which is why the panel does not offer any: the loud parts come down towards the quiet ones and the result is a track you do not have to keep reaching for the volume control during.

Every output format this app offers accepts it, so it makes no difference to the normalizing whether you keep MP4 or pick MKV, MOV, WEBM or any of the others.

The output format sits in the settings panel beside the uploader, and appears once there is a file to apply it to.

One setting, and it is the output format

MP4 is the default, and it is the format that plays on the widest range of devices and players. If you need something else, MKV, MOV, AVI, WEBM, WMV, FLV, OGV, 3GP and 3G2 are in the same list. Pick the format your source already uses if you want the file to change as little as possible.

Nothing in the panel touches the picture: there is no cropping, no resizing and no frame rate to choose, so the video comes back framed the way you sent it.

You can add several videos at once. Each one is processed on its own with the same settings and comes back as its own file.

You can also paste a link instead of uploading, or pull the file in from cloud storage.

Free to use, and private by default

Normalizing the audio track of a video is free and needs no account. Every upload and download runs over an encrypted connection, so your footage cannot be read on the way.

Processing is fully automated: nobody watches your videos and they are never used to train AI models. You keep the copyright and the ownership of both the video you upload and the one you get back.

The servers that do the work are in Europe.

Questions about normalizing audio

What does normalizing audio actually do?

It evens out the volume of the audio track and takes the peaks out of it, so the loud and the quiet parts of the same video end up much closer together. The picture is left as it is.

Can I set a target volume or a level?

No, and there is nothing to miss: normalizing is a single on or off setting, so there is no figure to enter. Upload the video, choose the output format and start.

Which output formats can I choose?

MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WEBM, WMV, FLV, OGV, 3GP and 3G2. MP4 is the default and is the one that plays on the widest range of devices and players.

Can I normalize several videos at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and each one is processed separately with the same settings, then returned as its own file.

Will the picture change?

Nothing in the settings panel changes the framing, the resolution or the frame rate. The file is written into the output format you choose, so pick the format your source already uses if you want to change as little as possible about it.

Does it cost anything?

No. Normalizing the audio track of a video here is free and does not require an account. A paid plan raises the upload limit and how many files you can process at once.
