What this audio tool does

Check whether an audio file can be decoded and played in your browser, then export a practical compatibility report.

The page combines declared MIME checks, playback capability detection, and a real Web Audio decode attempt.

Browser results depend on device resources and supported codecs. Use short or medium files for responsive processing.

Supported formats and limits

Common MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, Ogg, FLAC, and WebM files may work when the current browser can decode them. Recording output depends on MediaRecorder support. Generated tones export as PCM WAV.

Example and practical tips

Begin with a short, clean file so you can verify the result quickly. For analysis tools, compare the result with what you hear rather than treating one number as a final mastering decision. Keep headphone volume moderate when generating tones.

Frequently asked questions

Can this checker prove a file will work in every browser?

No. It reports capabilities in the browser you are using and explains that support can differ elsewhere.

Does the checker upload my audio?

No. File inspection and decoding happen locally in this browser.

Why can an MP3 fail even when MP3 is normally supported?

A damaged file, unusual codec profile, misleading extension, or incomplete download can still prevent decoding.

What does decoded successfully mean?

It means the Web Audio decoder read the file into PCM audio in this browser.

Can I download the findings?

Yes. The result is a plain-text compatibility report.
