How to use this tool
Choose a short audio file and normalize its peak to −1 dBFS, then save the result as 16-bit PCM WAV.
Private processing

Formats and limits
This adjusts peak amplitude only; it does not provide broadcast loudness normalization or compression. Files are limited by the browser decode and memory limits; quiet sections remain quiet.

Frequently asked questions
Does peak normalization make quiet audio louder?
It scales the entire clip until its highest absolute sample reaches −1 dBFS. Quiet passages remain quiet relative to the rest of the clip.
Is this the same as loudness normalization?
No. It measures the sample peak and does not target LUFS, compress dynamics or apply limiting.
What format does it export?
It exports 16-bit PCM WAV using the decoded sample rate and channel layout; the source file stays in your browser tab.
