Streaming services like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music adjust loudness during playback. LUFS Converter Pro brings your tracks to a fixed, measurable target level before upload – no trial and error.

What Spotify does to your loudness

For most playback, Spotify aims for roughly -14 LUFS. If your track is louder, Spotify turns it down. If it is quieter, Spotify may turn it up – which becomes a problem when peak levels are too high and clipping occurs.

The Spotify preset in LUFS Converter Pro

Select Spotify / YouTube (-14 LUFS) in the app. The preset sets:

  • Target LUFS: -14
  • True Peak: -1.0 dBTP

You can change True Peak afterwards (-0.5 / -1.0 / -2.0 dBTP). For streaming uploads, -1.0 dBTP is a solid balance: enough loudness with some headroom against clipping.

Workflow in the app

  1. Add source folder(s) under Source folders → Add (multiple folders and subfolders supported)
  2. Optionally choose a destination folder – otherwise files are replaced in place and originals are backed up in _original
  3. Select the Spotify / YouTube preset
  4. Start normalization – first measure, then adjust
  5. Review the report after the run (filename starts with lufs_report_)

Trial vs. full version

The free trial processes up to 5 tracks × 40 seconds – presets and two-stage normalization are fully testable. Full albums or large podcast archives need the full license.
