Audio Bitcrusher

Reduce the sample rate and bit depth for a lo-fi effect

Simulates low-quality digital audio by reducing sample rate and bit depth. Creates gritty, crunchy sounds reminiscent of early digital samplers, video game consoles, and lo-fi music production.

Bitcrush Intensity

Choose the intensity of the bitcrushing effect. Mild = subtle degradation, Heavy = extreme digital distortion.

Sample Rate (1000-48000 Hz)

Target sample rate. Lower values = more aliasing and gritty digital artifacts.

Bit Depth (1-16 bits)

Target bit depth. Lower values = more quantization noise and harsh digital distortion.

Dithering

Dithering reduces quantization artifacts by adding noise. None = raw quantization noise.

Wet/Dry Mix (0-1.0)

0 0.8 1

Balance between dry (original) and wet (bitcrushed) signal.
