What is the difference between Normalization and Gain Boost?

Normalization (LUFS) analyzes the entire track and dynamically adjusts loud and quiet parts to hit a target average loudness (like -14 LUFS for podcasts), resulting in a more consistent sound. Gain Boost simply turns up the volume uniformly across the entire file, which can make already-loud parts distort if pushed too high.

Is my audio file uploaded to a server?

Absolutely not. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.

Will boosting the volume ruin my audio quality?

Moderate gain boosts (e.g., +3dB to +6dB) are generally safe. However, boosting too high (e.g., +15dB) can cause digital clipping (distortion). For the best results, we recommend using the 'Smart Normalization' mode, which prevents clipping automatically.
