How do I check how much louder the video got?

Increase the volume of a video here and two players appear: the original soundtrack and the louder one. Play the quietest sentence in both. The new one should be easy to hear at a normal phone volume.

How loud it is now

The page measures the soundtrack in LUFS, so you can see how far under a normal level it sits.

How much it will be raised

It shows the gain, such as +12 dB, before anything is written.

Why is my video so quiet?

Usually the mic was too far from the speaker or set too low. The picture is fine; the soundtrack just needs more level.

Filmed from across the room

A phone on a tripod three meters away records the voice weakly. Raising it brings the words up, along with the room.

A wireless mic set to low gain

A safe, low gain avoids clipping but leaves the file quiet. That is the easiest kind of quiet video to fix.

A screen recording with a laptop mic

Built-in mics in screen recordings often sit far below normal. One gain brings the narration to a YouTube level.

Noise as loud as the voice

When the noise is as loud as the voice, raising the volume raises both. Clean the noise first.

Remove background noise from video

Why increase video volume with EraseNoise

The soundtrack gets louder, and nothing else in the file changes.

The picture is copied, not re-rendered

H.264 and HEVC frames go into the MP4 as they are. There is no quality loss and no watermark on the image.

Louder without crackle

Peaks the gain would push past -1 dB are caught by a limiter, so the loudest moments do not break up.

The right amount, measured

Instead of guessing a percentage, the page measures the loudness and raises it to where YouTube and phones expect it.

Free and private

Your browser does the work, so the video never leaves your device and there is no sign-up.

Why not just turn up the volume slider?

A percentage slider makes a quiet clip louder, but it does not know how loud is enough, and it will clip if you go too far.

No guessing

A video at -30 LUFS needs about +16 dB to reach -14 LUFS. The page works that out for you.

Safe for the loud moments

A laugh or a door slam would clip at that gain. The limiter catches it.

Ready for YouTube

The YouTube preset uses -14 LUFS, the level YouTube is widely measured to play at, so the video is not quieter than the one before it.

Can I increase the volume of a video in my editor instead?

Yes, if the video is already in a project. Use this page when you have one finished file and do not want to export it again.

Which videos can I make louder?

Increase the volume of video files up to 1 GB. The download is always an MP4.

MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM

iPhone, Android, GoPro, and screen recordings all work. H.264 and HEVC pictures are copied. ProRes needs to be exported as H.264 first.

Up to 1 GB

The new MP4 is built in your browser memory before you save it. Trim a longer video first, or extract its audio and normalize that.

The video needs a sound track

A silent recording has nothing to raise. The page says so before it does anything.

How to increase the volume of a video

  1. 1

    Choose the video

    Drop an MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM on the box above. The page measures how loud the soundtrack is.

  2. 2

    Pick how loud

    YouTube is -14 LUFS, a podcast-style talk is -16, and broadcast is -23.

  3. 3

    Make it louder and download

    Compare the two soundtracks, then download the MP4 with the same picture.

Where making a video louder helps

A quiet vlog

The camera mic caught your voice at a low level. Raise it to -14 LUFS and post it without opening an editor.

A recorded class or talk

The speaker was far from the phone. Make the video louder so students do not need headphones to follow it.

A screen recording

A laptop mic left the narration quiet. Raise it and the picture of your screen stays pixel for pixel.

Is a louder soundtrack what the video needs?

Increase the volume of a video when the voice is clean but quiet. Other problems need a different step.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. To increase the volume of a video, EraseNoise reads and rewrites it in your browser. No copy is sent or stored, so refreshing the page clears the result. Download the MP4 before you leave.

Frequently asked questions

How do I increase the volume of a video for free?

Open this page, choose the video, pick the YouTube preset, and select Normalize loudness. Compare the two soundtracks and download the MP4. The picture is copied and nothing is uploaded.

Will the video quality change?

No. H.264 and HEVC frames are copied into the MP4 as they are. Only the soundtrack is rewritten, as AAC.

How much louder can a video get?

Up to +30 dB, about 30 times the original amplitude. The page measures the soundtrack first and shows the exact gain it will apply before anything is written.

Why does the background noise get louder too?

A gain raises everything in the soundtrack. If the noise bothers you after raising the volume, remove it first, then make the video louder.

Can I make a video louder on my iPhone?

Yes. Open this page in Safari, choose the video from your library, and save the MP4 back to Photos or Files.

Is there a size limit?

Videos up to 1 GB, because the new MP4 is built in your browser memory. Trim a longer video first, or extract its audio and normalize that.
