1Upload the MP3 audio files whose level you want to change.
2Move the volume slider: above 100% makes the file louder, below 100% makes it quieter.
3Run it; the whole file is raised or lowered by the same amount, so a large boost can make loud passages clip.

Adjust MP3 Volume FAQ
Does the source format matter?
+
It does. MP3 is the universal lossy codec — nothing refuses to play it, at the cost of poorer quality per bit than AAC or Opus. That decides whether a gain change is an exact edit of the samples or has to go through a re-encode.
Anything specific to MP3 to know?
+
Yes — MP3 frames are fixed-size blocks, so a cut lands on a frame boundary and gapless playback markers do not survive a re-encode. Relevant if you plan to adjust the level more than once.
Should I use volume or normalisation?
+
Use volume when you know exactly how much louder or quieter you want it. Use normalisation when you want a set of files to end up at the same perceived loudness — that is a measurement problem, not a fixed gain, and applying one when you meant the other is the usual mistake.
Can I adjust a whole batch to the same gain?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Can I run Adjust MP3 Volume on several MP3 audio files at once?
+
Yes. Upload the set and they process in parallel with the same settings, which is the practical way to handle a podcast series or an album rather than repeating the job by hand.
Does Adjust MP3 Volume cost anything?
+
No. Adjust MP3 Volume is free without an account, and nothing is added to the audio. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
Is there a file size limit on Adjust MP3 Volume?
+
Yes: free accounts process audio up to 15 MB per file, which at typical bitrates is several hours of material; ffmpeg does the decoding and encoding, exactly as it would on a desktop. That is the most generous cap on the site after video, and audio work rarely runs into it.
Why does a PNG site host Adjust MP3 Volume?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Adjust MP3 Volume on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Adjust MP3 Volume is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Adjust MP3 Volume rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Adjust MP3 Volume here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
