About Audio Normalizer

The Audio Normalizer brings a track to a consistent, standards-based loudness using EBU R128 loudness normalization. Instead of just raising the peak, it measures perceived loudness in LUFS and adjusts the whole file to your chosen target — the way streaming platforms and broadcasters level their audio.

Four targets cover the common cases: −14 LUFS for streaming platforms, −16 LUFS for podcasts and speech, −9 LUFS for loud club-style masters, and −23 LUFS for EBU broadcast delivery. A true-peak ceiling of −1, −1.5, or −2 dBTP prevents clipping after normalization.

Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, or OGG file and download the normalized MP3. The tool is free — the reliable fix for episodes that play at wildly different volumes or files that get turned down by loudness-normalized platforms.

How to use Audio Normalizer

  1. Upload the file you want to normalize (MP3, WAV, M4A, or OGG).
  2. Pick a loudness target: streaming −14, podcast −16, loud −9, or broadcast −23 LUFS.
  3. Choose a true-peak ceiling — −1.5 dBTP is the recommended default.
  4. Click Normalize and download the normalized MP3.

Frequently asked questions

LUFS measures perceived loudness rather than raw signal peaks. Streaming services normalize playback to LUFS targets, so mastering to the right level means your audio plays at the same volume as everything else instead of being turned down.

Use −14 LUFS for music going to streaming platforms, −16 LUFS for podcasts and spoken word, −23 LUFS for European broadcast delivery, and −9 LUFS only when you specifically want a very loud, club-style file.

It caps the highest instantaneous peaks after normalization, preventing clipping and distortion on playback devices and lossy encoders. −1.5 dBTP is a safe recommended default; −1.0 allows slightly hotter peaks.

Simple volume changes scale everything blindly. Loudness normalization measures the whole program against the EBU R128 standard and adjusts to a perceptual target while respecting a peak limit — consistent results across very different recordings.

Yes, loudness normalization is free with no signup, and the result is delivered as an MP3.
