Tool Overview & Guide

What is Change Audio Speed?

Change Speed makes an audio file play faster or slower without shifting its pitch, so voices and music stay natural. Drop in a file and set a speed between 0.5x and 2x. The work is done by in-browser FFmpeg (WebAssembly) using its atempo filter, so your audio is processed on your device and never uploaded.

How to use Change Audio Speed

3 simple steps to complete your task directly in your browser:

  1. Add your audio

    Drag an MP3, WAV, or other audio file onto the drop zone. The in-browser FFmpeg engine begins loading in the background and a status line shows its progress.

  2. Set the speed

    Drag the speed slider between 0.5x (half speed) and 2x (double speed). 1.00x leaves the audio unchanged, and the pitch is preserved at every setting.

  3. Change speed

    Click Change speed once the engine is ready. A percentage indicator shows the processing progress while FFmpeg re-times the audio.
