Add your audio
Drop an audio or video file, or measure a microphone or a browser tab live. Long files stream through without filling your memory.
Measure songs, podcasts, voice-overs and film mixes the way streaming services and broadcasters do: integrated loudness, short-term and momentary curves, loudness range and true peak.
See whether a file meets its delivery target, then normalize it with a true-peak limiter and download WAV, MP3 or AAC with a measurement report.

Integrated loudness, loudness range, true peak and the curve over time appear in seconds. Pick a platform or standard to see pass or fail.
Bring the file to the target with a true-peak limiter and download it, measured again, or save a CSV or PDF report.
Most services play music at about −14 LUFS (some at −16) and turn louder songs down. Mastering much louder gains nothing but lost dynamics. Keep true peaks at −1 dBTP or lower.
Aim for −16 LUFS in stereo or −19 LUFS in mono, with peaks under −1 dBTP. Speech with a small loudness range (under about 8 LU) is easiest to follow in cars and on phones.
EBU R128 asks for −23 LUFS ±0.5 LU and peaks under −1 dBTP; US television uses −24 LKFS (ATSC A/85) with −2 dBTP. LKFS and LUFS are the same unit.

No. Files are read and measured in your browser, and normalized files are made there too. Nothing is sent to a server.
It follows ITU-R BS.1770-4 and EBU R128: K-weighting, 400 ms blocks every 100 ms with the −70 LUFS and −10 LU gates, short-term loudness over 3 s, loudness range per EBU Tech 3342 and true peak with 4× oversampling (2× at 88.2 and 96 kHz). On the EBU test signals and on generated music, speech and noise at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz, integrated loudness and loudness range agree with a reference meter to within 0.01 LU, and true peak of program material to within 0.1 dB.
Integrated loudness is the loudness of the whole file, ignoring silence and very quiet passages (gating). Short-term is the loudness of the last 3 seconds and momentary of the last 0.4 seconds; the graph shows both over time.
True peak is the highest level of the waveform including the peaks between samples that appear when the sound is converted or encoded. PLR is true peak minus integrated loudness, a measure of punch. Loudness range (LRA) is how much the loudness varies between the quieter and louder parts.
The file is turned up or down to the target. With “Gain + limiter”, a true-peak limiter with look-ahead holds peaks under the ceiling; the result is measured again and fine-tuned if needed so it lands within 0.1 LU of the target. With “Gain only”, the gain stops before any peak reaches the ceiling.
Yes. Files of several hours are read piece by piece, so they don't fill your memory; an hour of stereo usually takes under a minute. Mono, stereo, 5.0, 5.1 and 7.1 are supported: surround channels count +1.5 dB and the LFE channel is left out, as the standard says.
Yes. Measure a microphone or the sound of a browser tab (for example a video you are playing) in real time, with the same meters, then save a report.
It doesn't detect dialogue, so it can't give a dialogue-gated reading; it doesn't compress, EQ or edit the sound; and it saves the normalized sound as an audio file (to put back into a video, use your editor). Peaks of MP3 and AAC files can rise slightly in encoding; the measured result shows it.
