How do I speed up or slow down an audio recording?

Upload your audio file, adjust the speed multiplier slider (0.5x to 2.0x), toggle pitch preservation if desired, and download your retimed audio track.

Can I speed up podcast or lecture recordings without high-pitched 'chipmunk' voice?

Yes. Enable the 'Preserve Pitch' option to time-stretch speech naturally without altering voice pitch.

How do I slow down music for instrumental practice or transcription?

Set speed to 0.75x or 0.5x with pitch locking to transcribe fast guitar solos, piano riffs, or vocal melodies note by note.

Can I create nightcore (fast + high pitch) or slowed/reverb music effects?

Yes. Disable pitch preservation to create classic vinyl tape varispeed pitch-shift effects.

What audio formats can I speed up or slow down?

Supports MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, and OGG audio files.
