Frequently asked questions
How do I make a song sound lo-fi for free?
Drop your file into the tool, then adjust four controls: crackle amount, wow (pitch wobble), warmth (saturation), and the low-pass filter. Preview with the A/B toggle and download the processed version as a WAV. It all runs locally in your browser.
Where does the vinyl crackle come from?
The crackle is synthesized on your device — random dust-and-pop impulses shaped to sit under the music — so there's no looped recording and no copyright baggage on the noise layer.
What does 'wow' mean in a lo-fi effect?
Wow is the slow pitch wobble of a worn turntable or tape machine. A subtle amount makes a track feel physical and aged; too much becomes seasick — the slider goes from gentle to unhinged, your call.
Is the export lossless?
The processed audio exports as uncompressed 16-bit WAV. Your original file never leaves your device and is never modified.
