1Upload the WAV 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 WAV Volume FAQ
Does the source format matter?
+
It does. WAV is uncompressed PCM: bit-exact and editable, at roughly 10 MB per stereo minute. That decides whether a gain change is an exact edit of the samples or has to go through a re-encode.
Anything specific to WAV to know?
+
Yes — WAV is raw PCM, so edits are sample-exact and instant, but the file is about 10 MB per stereo minute and uploads dominate the time. 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 WAV Volume on several WAV audio files at once?
+
Yes, though lossless files are large, so the batch is bound by upload bandwidth rather than by processing. Settings apply uniformly across the set.
Are bit depth and sample rate preserved?
+
Yes, unless you change them deliberately. A 24-bit/96 kHz source stays 24-bit/96 kHz — nothing is silently downsampled to 16/44.1, which is the failure mode that makes a master unusable.
Does Adjust WAV Volume cost anything?
+
No. Adjust WAV 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 WAV Volume?
+
Yes: free accounts process audio up to 15 MB per file — for uncompressed PCM that is roughly twenty minutes of CD-quality stereo, so it is a real limit here in a way it is not for MP3. If you are over it, converting WAV to FLAC first is the free fix — it is lossless and roughly halves the size.
Why does a PNG site host Adjust WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV Volume rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Adjust WAV 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.
