Audio Speed Changer makes audio faster or slower while keeping its pitch. Choose a preset from 0.5× to 2× or any custom speed from 0.25× to 4×, see the expected new length, and save the result as MP3, WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or Opus. Time stretching uses FFmpeg’s atempo filter in libav.js, an open-source WebAssembly build of FFmpeg’s libraries loaded from this site, running in your browser.
Speeding up lectures and podcasts saves time; slowing down music or language lessons makes them easier to follow. Simply changing the playback rate also changes the pitch, while a time-stretch filter keeps voices natural. Large changes — below 0.5× or above 2× — use several filter passes and can sound less natural.
Step by step
- Drop an MP3, WAV, FLAC, Ogg, Opus or WebM audio file onto the upload area.
- Listen to the original and check its length.
- Pick a speed preset or type a custom speed between 0.25× and 4×.
- Check the expected output length shown under the speed.
- Choose the output format and bitrate.
- Press Change speed, listen to the result and download it.

- Avoid extreme speeds for music — artefacts become audible.
- Choose WAV or FLAC if you will process the audio again.
- Listen to the result before replacing the original.
