How to improve the audio quality of a video on iPhone

Videcho shapes how a video sounds: its tone and its level. It cannot take the echo of a room out of a recording. To make a dull, thin or uneven voice sound better, import the clip, open Audio FX, pick a Voice style, adjust Tone (EQ), then set the level in Mastering and export.

Videcho is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. The guide names every button as the app shows it.

You need Videcho on an iPhone or iPad with iOS 26 or later, and a video in your photo library or in Files. The video needs a sound track.

Steps

  1. Import the video

    Open Videcho and tap Choose from Library. Pick Video from Library or Video from Files, then choose the clip. Once a clip is open, the + button at the top left of the Preview tab loads a different one.

  2. Pick a voice style

    Tap Audio FX in the bar at the bottom. In the Character card, tap a style in the Voice style row. Spoken suits talking, and Auto measures your clip and picks settings for it. Intensity sets how much of the style you hear. The guide to a cover or music video lists the styles for singing.

  3. Even out the level

    In the same card, Compressor narrows the gap between quiet and loud, so soft words stay audible. Warmth rounds a thin sound and Tube Saturation adds gentle overtones that make it fuller.

  4. Shape the tone

    Tone (EQ) has three bands: Bass (80 Hz), Mid (1 kHz) and Treble (10 kHz), each from -12 dB to +12 dB. Raise Treble if the voice sounds dull, lower Bass if it sounds boomy. A voice style never moves these three sliders. The EQ guide goes through each band.

  5. Cut rumble and harsh S sounds

    At the end of the Character card, tap Fine tune. Low Cut removes the lowest frequencies, which helps against the rumble of wind or a handling noise below the voice. De-Ess softens sharp S sounds. Both change the tone only. They do not take a noise out of the recording.

  6. Raise the level

    If the voice is quiet, drag Volume to the right on the Volume card at the top of Audio FX. A boost raises the hiss of the recording along with the voice. The guide to a louder video covers it.

  7. Set the final level

    Open the Mastering tab and pick Natural, Social or Loud. The tab shows the loudness before and after and plays both, so you hear what changed. Videcho applies the setting when you export. The mastering guide goes through the three levels.

  8. Compare with the original

    On the Preview tab, the power button next to Export switches all effects off, so you hear the original, and on again.

  9. Export

    On the Preview tab, tap the Export button, the arrow out of a box at the top right. Videcho renders a new video at the size and frame rate of your clip, up to 4K at 60 fps, and opens the share sheet. Save the video to Photos or Files, AirDrop it or send it on. The original clip stays as it was.

Questions

  • Can Videcho remove echo from a video?

    No. It can add echo and reverb, not take a room's echo away.

  • What does Videcho improve, then?

    A voice that sounds thin, dull, boomy, harsh or uneven. A voice style, Compressor, Tone (EQ) and Mastering change those, and each is an adjustment you can hear before you export.

  • Does it change the picture?

    Not on the Audio FX tab. The Video FX tab has colour looks and blur, and both are optional. The look guide shows them.

  • Does Videcho lower the video quality?

    No. Videcho exports at the size and frame rate of your clip, up to 4K at 60 fps.

  • Does Videcho change my original video?

    No. Videcho writes a new video and leaves the original where it is.
