Speed Up or Slow Down Audio — Free, No Download

This audio speed changer uses time-stretch processing to alter playback speed without changing pitch. Unlike simply changing the sample rate (which makes audio sound like a chipmunk when sped up), time-stretching preserves the natural tone and pitch of voices and instruments. Speed up podcasts for faster listening, slow down music to learn difficult passages, or adjust interview recordings for easier transcription. Supports MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and most audio formats. All processing happens locally in your browser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I change speed without changing pitch?

Yes — this is the core feature. The tool uses time-stretching algorithms to maintain the original pitch while changing the playback speed. A voice sped up to 2x still sounds natural, not like a chipmunk.

What speed range is available?

From 0.25x (four times slower) to 4x (four times faster). Common settings: 0.5x for detailed listening, 1.5x for podcast speed-listening, 2x for transcription review.

Is this free?

Yes, completely free with no file size limits. No signup required.

Can I speed up podcasts?
Yes — this is one of the most popular use cases. Speed up podcasts to 1.5x or 2x to save time while still understanding every word.
Does it work with music?
Yes. Slow down music to learn difficult passages, or speed up for DJ transitions. Pitch is preserved so the key does not change.
What is the difference between this and pitch changing?
Speed changing alters the duration while keeping pitch constant. Pitch changing alters the pitch while keeping duration constant. They use related but different algorithms.
