Playback Check

Hear a video the way each device plays it

A video goes in; you hear it through seven modelled devices and get its loudness, true peak and range against YouTube's −14 LUFS.

You give it
One video or audio file, up to 1 000 MB
You get back
A report: integrated loudness, true peak, range, per-device rows, suggested fixes with the number each comes from

What you get free

The first three minutes of any file, all seven devices, every number and every suggestion.

What it doesn't do

  • The device responses are models of typical devices, not measurements of a particular product, and the page says so. The voice-over-bed figure is an estimate.
  • Anything the browser can decode: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG. Some codecs inside video containers cannot be decoded in a browser; the tool says so and asks for the audio track.

What it costs

$5 a month on its own, or in Creator ($8 a month); every paid tool for $24. It adds: The whole file, however long; the free tier measures the first three minutes.

One subscription, one invoice — add a tool any time, prorated. Sign in and it unlocks; or paste your key once per device.

If it doesn't work

Email support@avyth.com and the person who built Playback Check reads it. If it fails on your file, say what the file looks like — that is usually enough to fix it.
