Remove clipping from a track online
Peaks flattened against the ceiling — a Suno/Udio export or a hot DAW bounce sounds harsh and dull? Check your file for free right here: we show how much is clipped. During mastering the clipped tips are rebuilt from the surrounding audio — even if the file was turned down or encoded to MP3 afterwards.

Drop a file or pick one — we show whether the peaks are clipped and how many. Free, no sign-up; we do not keep the file.
What De-clipper does
Clipping means peaks cut flat at digital full scale. Mastering cannot undo a damaged input — the grit and harmonics stay. De-clipper runs earlier: it finds those shelves and rebuilds short clipped runs.
Clipping detector
The detector finds the clipping level on its own — not only at 0 dBFS, but also in files turned down or encoded to MP3/M4A after clipping. The result is in the track passport and in the free check on this page.
Rebuilt from the surrounding audio
Each clipped tip (up to 10 ms) is reconstructed from a model of the signal on both sides — never below the clipping level and with the same sign. The transient gets its tip back instead of a flat shelf.
Artifact-aware limits
Long shelves are left alone on purpose: reconstructing them risks clicks. Clean files pass through unchanged.
Who needs this
- AI music creators (Suno, Udio) — exports often arrive already clipped; without repair the master inherits the grit.
- Producers with hot bounces — peaks hit 0 dBFS on export from the DAW.
- Before streaming release — True Peak and platform codecs do not forgive input shelves.
- Anyone hearing rasp on hits — a classic clue of clipped transients.
FAQ
What is clipping in an audio file?
Peaks cut into a flat shelf when the level exceeded digital full scale during recording or export. The sound gets harsher, harmonic distortion appears, and transients lose their shape.
How does De-clipper work in Magic Master?
The detector finds the clipping level — even if the file was turned down or encoded to MP3 afterwards. Each clipped tip up to 10 ms is reconstructed from a model of the surrounding signal (Janssen's method), never below the clipping level. Then the track enters the normal mastering chain; the passport shows how many spots were restored.
Do I need to turn De-clipper on manually?
No. Detection runs on every track; if clipping is found, restoration applies automatically (enabled in production). A clean file is left unchanged.
How is De-clipper different from Already loud?
De-clipper repairs clipped peaks on the input. Already loud opens an over-compressed brick that is not necessarily clipped — restoring perceived punch and crest factor. Both can help, but they solve different problems.
How much does it cost?
The first basic master per day is free (UTC). De-clipper is part of the mastering chain — no separate fee. PRO features are billed in tokens via YooKassa.
