# Increase Video Volume

ToolSugar makes a quiet video or audio file louder in your browser. Boost by 3 to 30 dB with a limiter holding peaks near -1 dB, or even everything out to -16 LUFS. Videos are saved as MP4 with the picture copied when it is H.264 or HEVC, and the sound is re-encoded. Afterward it reports measured levels and any clipping. Nothing is uploaded. The first run downloads a 32 MB engine.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose a video or audio file.
2. Choose Boost to set an amount, or Even out to hit a standard loudness.
3. Press increase volume.
4. Read the measured before and after levels, then download.

## Key facts

- **Video**: Saved as MP4. H.264 and HEVC pictures are copied packet for packet, and VP8 or VP9 pictures are re-encoded to H.264.
- **Clipping**: A limiter holds peaks near -1 dB in boost mode, and our test output stays below -0.3 dB. The result note states the measured peak.
- **Loudness**: Even out targets -16 LUFS and peaks of -1.5 dB. Our test landed within 1.5 of the target.
- **Sound format**: The audio is re-encoded, as AAC for videos and in the original format for audio files.

## Common uses

- Rescuing a phone video where the voices are far too quiet.
- Matching the loudness of clips before posting them.
- Making a lecture recording easy to hear on a laptop.

## Questions

### Does it make noise louder too?

Yes. Everything in the track rises together. If hiss becomes a problem, run the noise remover first.

### What if the video is already loud?

The limiter holds the peaks down, and the note warns you if the result still reaches full scale. Heavy limiting can sound squashed. The note tells you how far the peaks would have gone.

### Which should I choose, boost or even out?

Boost keeps the dynamics and suits a clip that is simply too quiet. Even out suits a recording where some parts are loud and others are hard to hear.
