Overview

Audio Change Bitrate re-encodes an audio file to a selected bitrate while keeping its original format. Choose from 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, or 320 kbps, with optional sample rate, channel, and metadata settings.

When to use

Reduce an audio file’s bitrate to help lower its file size.
Increase the bitrate of a compatible audio file when a higher target setting is needed.
Prepare audio with a specific bitrate, sample rate, or mono/stereo channel configuration.

How it works

1Upload one supported audio file up to 60 MB.
2Select a target bitrate from 96 kbps to 320 kbps.
3Optionally choose Auto, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz for the sample rate and Auto, mono, or stereo for channels.
4Choose whether to keep metadata, then generate the re-encoded audio file.

Use cases

Create smaller audio files by selecting a lower bitrate such as 96 or 128 kbps.
Standardize audio files at 192 kbps for a consistent media collection.
Prepare mono voice recordings or stereo music with a selected sample rate.

Examples

1. Reduce an audio file for easier sharing

Content creator

Background

A content creator has an audio file that is larger than needed for sharing and wants to reduce its bitrate.

Problem

The file needs a lower bitrate while retaining its original audio format.

How to use

Upload the audio file, select 128 kbps, leave the sample rate and channels set to Auto, and keep metadata enabled.

Target bitrate: 128 kbps; Sample rate: Auto; Channels: Auto; Keep Metadata: enabled

Outcome

The tool produces a re-encoded audio file in the same format at 128 kbps.

2. Prepare a mono voice recording

Podcast editor

Background

A podcast editor is preparing a single-speaker recording and wants a mono output with a defined sample rate.

Problem

The recording should use one channel and a 44.1 kHz sample rate.

How to use

Upload the audio file, choose 192 kbps, select 44.1 kHz, and set Audio Channels to Mono.
