How this works

levels = 2^bits

Use the result carefully

Floating-point formats use an exponent and mantissa rather than this fixed-step model.

Calculations run on your device. No audio uploads, account, or email required. Numerical outputs are rounded for display; these tools do not analyze a recording unless explicitly stated.
