Are my audio files uploaded to a remote server for compression?

No. All compression happens locally on your computer or phone using the browser's native WebCodecs API. Your audio never leaves your device.

Will compressing my audio make it sound muffled or distorted?

No. The compressor uses smart bitrate allocation to remove unnecessary data while keeping the audio crisp and clear to the human ear.

Can I compress multiple audio files simultaneously?

Yes. You can select multiple audio tracks at once, apply your target quality setting, and batch download the compressed results as a single ZIP archive.

Which audio formats does the compressor support?

You can compress MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, and AAC files, and export them as highly compatible MP3, M4A, or OGG formats.
