ONLINE EQUALIZER

Online equalizer

Load an audio file and shape it with the same six bands the iPhone app uses, plus a bass shelf and gain. Everything runs in your browser — the file is decoded locally and never uploaded anywhere.

Start at a low level and raise it gradually — sustained test tones are more fatiguing than music at the same volume.

MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG — whatever your browser can decode. Nothing leaves your device.

Cut before you boost

The instinct with an equalizer is to raise what you want more of. The better habit is to lower what is in the way. Every decibel of boost eats headroom and brings clipping closer; cutting costs nothing.

The most useful single move on most material is a couple of decibels out of 400 Hz. It does not make the bass louder — it makes it separate, and separation is what the ear reads as tight, defined bass.

Your output decides which bands matter

A laptop or phone speaker cannot reproduce much below a few hundred hertz, so moving the 60 Hz slider there does nothing except waste headroom. On headphones it does a great deal. Before concluding a band is broken, check where your hardware actually stops with the bass test.

Why there is no download button

This is a playback tool. Exporting a processed file would mean shipping an audio encoder into the page — a large download for every visitor, most of whom want to hear whether an adjustment helps rather than to render a new file.

If you want these settings applied permanently to your own listening, that is what Volume Booster does on iPhone: the same six bands and bass shelf, applied to your library as you play it. And if you want to understand what each band is doing before you touch it, the EQ guide has real starting numbers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there a free online equalizer?

This one. Load an audio file from your device and adjust six bands plus a bass shelf while it plays. Nothing is uploaded — the file is decoded and processed in your browser, so it never leaves your computer.

Does this upload my file?

No. The browser reads the file locally, decodes it with the Web Audio API and processes it in memory. There is no server involved and nothing is stored.

Can I download the equalized file?

Not here — this is a playback tool for hearing whether settings help before you commit to them. Exporting would mean shipping an audio encoder into the page, which is a lot of weight for something most people do not need.

What do the six bands do?

60 Hz is sub-bass weight, 150 Hz is bass body, 400 Hz is where mud collects and usually wants cutting, 1 kHz is the core of most instruments, 2.4 kHz is presence and speech clarity, and 15 kHz is air. They are the same bands the iPhone app uses.

Why does boosting everything not make it louder?

Because it eats headroom. Every decibel of boost brings the peaks closer to clipping, and past that point you hear harshness rather than volume. Cutting the bands that are crowding the mix is free and usually more effective.

What file formats work?

Whatever your browser can decode — typically MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, FLAC and OGG. If a file will not load, it is usually an unsupported codec rather than a problem with the file.

Can I equalize Spotify or YouTube with this?

No. This works on files you load. A browser extension can process a tab's audio, and Spotify has its own equalizer built in — but a web page cannot reach another site's playback.
