Can I upload higher resolution audio?

Bandcamp supports 16-bit and 24-bit audio files (FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and ALAC up to 48 kHz). Fans can see the available quality. Leave 0.5 dB of headroom for higher sample rates to avoid clipping. 32-bit files are not supported.

Yes! Bandcamp supports high-quality audio. You can upload 16-bit or 24-bit files, and your fans will see the audio quality available. Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

  • Bandcamp accepts 16-bit and 24-bit files; the quality will be indicated on your release page.

  • FLAC, WAV, and AIFF downloads retain the exact bit-depth and sample rate of your original upload.

  • ALAC files are limited to a maximum sample rate of 48 kHz.

  • Lossy formats (MP3, Ogg, AAC) are optimized based on playback devices, using the highest quality possible.

  • If uploading files with a higher sample rate, leave at least 0.5 dB of headroom to avoid clipping during transcoding.

  • 32-bit files are not supported at this time.

Uploading high-res audio ensures your music sounds its best—go for it!
