KrispvsEziclipThe free Krisp alternative for cleaning audio files — in your browser, nothing uploaded
Sound Enhancer is a free, in-browser tool that cleans a recorded audio file: it removes background noise, shapes the result with content presets (Vocal, Podcast, Voiceover, Instrument, Music), boosts quiet recordings, and exports a lossless WAV — all on your own device, with nothing uploaded, no watermark and no sign-up. It is not the same kind of tool as Krisp: Krisp is a desktop/driver app that cancels noise in real time during live calls (Zoom, Meet, Teams), is voice-only, and puts its full feature set behind a paid subscription beyond limited free minutes. If you need to clean a file after recording — and it might be music, not just speech — Sound Enhancer does that job free; if you need noise gone live, mid-call, Krisp is the right tool.

Try the free Sound Enhancer — right here
Krisp and Sound Enhancer both fight background noise, but at opposite ends of the recording. Krisp sits between your mic and your call and removes noise in real time as you talk — a brilliant fix for live meetings, but it's voice-only, runs as a desktop app, and unlocks its full feature set on a paid plan. Sound Enhancer works on the file you already recorded: drop it in, pick a preset, and it cleans speech or music, boosts quiet takes, and gives you a lossless WAV — free, in the browser, with nothing uploaded.

Where Krisp is genuinely better
Krisp is genuinely better — and Sound Enhancer simply can't do — the thing it's built for: removing noise from a live call as it happens. It runs as a virtual microphone during Zoom, Meet or Teams, strips background noise and echo from both your side and (on its plans) other participants in real time with negligible latency, and adds call extras like meeting transcription and notes. That's a fundamentally different job. Sound Enhancer only touches a file you've already recorded — it can't sit on a live call, can't cancel echo mid-conversation, and is tuned for short clips up to about two minutes, not hour-long meetings. If your problem is noise on calls you're having right now, Krisp is the correct tool; Sound Enhancer is for cleaning the recording afterward.
Questions
Only for one of Krisp's jobs. Krisp removes noise live, during a call; Sound Enhancer cleans a file after it's recorded. If you want to clean up an exported recording — a voice memo, a podcast take, an interview, even music — Sound Enhancer is a free, in-browser way to do it. If you need noise gone in real time on a Zoom or Meet call, Krisp is the right tool and Sound Enhancer can't replace it.
No. Sound Enhancer works on recorded files, not live audio — it has no virtual-microphone mode and doesn't sit in your call. Krisp is built exactly for that real-time job. Use Krisp during the call; use Sound Enhancer to clean the recording you keep afterward.
It cleans music and instruments, not just voice — it auto-routes to a speech engine or a music-safe engine depending on the preset you pick (Vocal, Podcast, Voiceover, Instrument, Music). It also shapes the result with those presets, boosts quiet recordings, and exports a lossless WAV. Krisp is voice-only and is a live noise filter, not a file enhancer with presets and export.
It's free, funded by optional support — no sign-up, no watermark, no paid tier gating the download. And nothing is uploaded: the audio is processed on your own device in the browser via WebAssembly, so a confidential interview or unreleased track never leaves your machine. Krisp has a free tier too, but it's minute-limited and its full feature set needs a paid subscription.
Use Krisp if the noise is happening live and you want it gone during the call, including echo cancellation and meeting transcription. Use Sound Enhancer if you have a finished recording to clean — especially if it's music or an instrument, if you want presets and a quiet-audio boost, or if you need a lossless file with nothing uploaded. They solve the noise problem at opposite ends, so many people end up using both.
