Frequently Asked Questions

What audio formats does Audio Compressor support?

Our tool supports MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and M4A audio formats for both upload and download.

Is there a file size limit for compression?

You can compress audio files up to 500MB in size. For larger files, consider splitting them into smaller segments.

Do you store my audio files after compression?

No, we do not store any of your files. All audio is processed and deleted immediately after download for your privacy.

What is the difference between ratio and threshold settings?

Threshold sets the level at which compression begins, while ratio determines how much the audio is compressed once it exceeds the threshold.

Tips and Tricks

  • ✓Start with a low compression ratio of 2:1 or 4:1 for subtle compression, then gradually increase for more noticeable effects
  • ✓Use a shorter attack time for drums and percussion to catch transients quickly, and longer attack times for vocals and melodic instruments
  • ✓Lower the threshold setting to compress more of your audio, or raise it to compress only the loudest peaks
  • ✓Always compare your compressed audio with the original by using the preview feature to ensure you haven't over-compressed and lost dynamic character
