What is nightcore?
Nightcore is a sped-up version of a song in which the pitch rises together with the tempo, the way a tape sounds when it runs fast. This tool speeds the track from 100 percent to 160 percent, with 125 percent as the starting point, which lifts the key by about four semitones. At 150 percent the key rises by about seven semitones. The result is shorter than the original, because the same music plays in less time. It runs in your browser, so the file is not uploaded, and you can save a 16-bit WAV or an MP3. The setting applies as you move the slider, so you can listen and adjust. It is free, with no account and no watermark.
How to use it
- Add the song Drop a file, or choose one from your device.
- Set the speed Start near 125% and move the slider while it plays.
- Save Pick WAV for full quality or MP3 for a smaller file.
Speed and pitch move together
Because the pitch follows the speed here, voices sound higher and lighter as you go faster. If you want a quicker track in its original key, use Speed and Pitch with Keep pitch. To raise or lower the key without changing the tempo, try the Pitch Shifter.
FAQ
Is there a daily limit?
No. The site sets no daily limit, no quota and no account requirement. The processing happens on your own device, so the only practical limit is the memory and speed of that device, especially for very long files. You must own the rights to the audio you process.
How fast is a normal nightcore edit?
Most edits sit between 120 and 135 percent. Below that the change is subtle, and above 150 percent voices start to sound very thin. Because you hear the result while you move the slider, the quickest way to find your setting is to listen at 125 percent first and adjust from there.
Does it work on spoken audio?
Yes. Speech becomes faster and higher, which can be fun for a short clip. For a podcast or lecture you want to hear sooner without changing the voice, use Speed and Pitch with Keep pitch instead, because that keeps the speaker's natural tone.
