    A microphone pair wired the wrong way, a side-reversed interview mix (question right instead of left) or an instrument on the wrong side: sometimes left and right simply need to switch places. This tool swaps the two stereo channels sample by sample - nothing else changes.

    The swap is lossless at the PCM level: nothing is mixed, filtered or changed in volume - the left channel becomes the right one one-to-one and vice versa. Only true stereo files are accepted; mono or multi-channel input gets a clear message instead of a guessed result.

    Like every gottrix tool, the swap runs fully locally in the browser: decode, exchange, re-encode - no upload.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop the stereo file.
    2. Choose the output format.
    3. Swap and download the corrected file.

    Limitations: Stereo files only (exactly 2 channels) - mono and multi-channel (5.1 etc.) are refused with a clear message. Honest per-device length cap (desktop about 20 minutes, tablet 15, phone 10; more with plenty of memory). Compressed inputs need WebCodecs decoding; output is WAV or M4A (re-encoded, lossless for WAV).

    FAQ

    Are files uploaded?

    No, everything stays local in the browser.

    Does quality change?

    Not at the PCM level - samples are only exchanged. M4A output adds an AAC encode; WAV stays lossless.

    Why stereo only?

    Mono has nothing to swap, and with 5.1 it would be unclear which channels are meant - an honest refusal beats a guessed result.

    How do I know my channels are reversed?

    Test with headphones: what should sound left (the interviewer, a particular instrument) should sit in the left ear. If not - swap.
