What does "Normalize" actually do?

It finds the loudest sample across the whole file and scales the entire file up so that peak sits just under full scale (98%) — the loudest part gets as loud as possible without clipping.

Will a custom percentage above 100% distort the audio?

Samples are clamped to the valid range to avoid harsh digital clipping, but pushing well past 100% will still audibly flatten loud peaks — start closer to 100% and adjust by ear.

Does this tool upload my audio anywhere?
