Frequently asked questions

Does pitch shifting change the tempo?

This tool shifts pitch only using playback-rate adjustment, which does change duration proportionally. For time-stretch-independent pitch shifting a more complex algorithm (phase vocoder) would be needed.

What audio formats are supported?

Any format your browser's Web Audio API can decode: typically MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and M4A. Unsupported formats will show an error.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit is enforced, but very large files (100 MB+) may take longer to process because the entire audio is decoded into memory in the browser.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No — the file is decoded and re-encoded entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Nothing is sent to any server.
