What files do you accept for voice cloning?

For Instant Voice Cloning and Professional Voice Cloning, we accept a range of file types. We strongly recommend MP3 at 192kbps or above.

Recommended format

  • MP3, 192kbps or higher

Recommended length

  • Instant Voice Cloning: 1–2 minutes of good audio
  • Professional Voice Cloning: 30–180 minutes of good audio

Uncompressed formats such as WAV usually do not improve clone quality, and they can cause problems with the upload process. Focus on recording quality instead: use a clean recording with no background noise, room reverb, or multiple speakers, at a consistent volume and tone, without long gaps of silence.

For more information, see Instant Voice Cloning (IVC) and Professional Voice Cloning (PVC).
