    Use a preset or the slider. 1.5× is the starting point.

  3. Download the MP3

    Play the result, then save it when the tempo sounds right.

Tips for song speed

Keep the result listenable.
  • 01

    Start at 1.25× or 1.5×

    Those rates speed a song up without rushing the vocal too hard.

  • 02

    2× is the top

    The single tempo filter used here stays inside 0.5× to 2×.

  • 03

    Video files lose the picture

    The MP3 is the soundtrack. Use Speed Up Video when you need the picture too.

  • 04

    Change the speed, then convert again

    A new speed clears the previous MP3 so the download matches the slider.

  • “The filter accepts exactly one parameter, the audio tempo. If not specified then the filter will assume nominal 1.0 tempo. Tempo must be in the [0.5, 100.0] range.”
