Understanding the Limitations of the Free Version

. It primarily supports WAV and MP3 audio files, requiring users to extract audio from video files before uploading. The maximum file length is 30 minutes, which may be restrictive for longer recordings. Additionally, the free version does not allow you to adjust the strength of the audio enhancement effect.

It’s particularly suitable for shorter audio clips or segments that require quick enhancement. By offering a free version, Adobe is making its advanced audio technology accessible to a wider audience, allowing users to improve their audio quality without immediate financial investment.
Free Version Limitations:
