1Upload the audio files whose level you want to change.
2Move the volume slider: above 100% makes the file louder, below 100% makes it quieter.
3Run it; the whole file is raised or lowered by the same amount, so a large boost can make loud passages clip.

Adjust Audio Volume FAQ
Does the source format matter?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. That decides whether a gain change is an exact edit of the samples or has to go through a re-encode.
Anything specific to Audio to know?
+
Yes — the codec is detected from the stream, so a mislabelled extension does not derail the job. Relevant if you plan to adjust the level more than once.
Should I use volume or normalisation?
+
Use volume when you know exactly how much louder or quieter you want it. Use normalisation when you want a set of files to end up at the same perceived loudness — that is a measurement problem, not a fixed gain, and applying one when you meant the other is the usual mistake.
How does Adjust Audio Volume change the level?
+
Concretely, the gain is applied after decode and written back in the source format, with clipping checked before the file is written. You move the volume slider, where 100% leaves the level unchanged, and the change is applied evenly across the whole file.
Can I run Adjust Audio Volume on several audio files at once?
+
Yes. The set queues in parallel with identical settings, which is how you process an album or a podcast back catalogue without repeating yourself.
Is there a file size limit on Adjust Audio Volume?
+
Yes: free accounts process audio up to 15 MB per file whichever codec you brought; ffmpeg handles the decode and encode. In practice that limit only bites on uncompressed WAV; a compressed file of the same length is nowhere near it.
Why does a Word site host Adjust Audio Volume?
+
WORD.to is built around the editable end of a document's life — the DOCX that is still being written, still being styled and still being argued over, before anyone flattens it for sending. Office files are containers full of other people's media — images, embedded audio, fonts — so the work people need on them is usually the work they would need on those contents anyway. Adjust Audio Volume shares the upload, the caps and the account with the conversions for that reason.
What should I do with the result once Adjust Audio Volume is finished?
+
The converter on this site takes documents out to PDF for sending, to images for embedding and to plain text for anything that has to read them programmatically, and back the other way. Doing that afterwards keeps the editable original around, which is the part you cannot get back once it has been flattened.
Is Adjust Audio Volume here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same document toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a Word site adds is a view on what survives leaving the Office format and what does not, which is the question every one of these jobs actually turns on. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: the document is a zip of XML, so text edits are cheap and the weight is almost always the embedded images.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
