How MyTools Helps You as a Podcast Host
A catalogue of the side tasks every podcast host juggles around the recording, each solved by a free in-browser MyTools tool. No install, no account.
Hosting a podcast is mostly the conversation. Booking the guest who keeps cancelling, reading the book before the interview so you have something to ask, finding the one question that makes them stop and actually think. That hour with the microphone is the part you signed up for.
The rest is files. A guest who recorded on their phone and sent you a WAV your editor won't open. An intro, an interview, and an outro living in three separate clips. Cover art that's too big for the hosting dashboard. A sponsor contract that arrived as a PDF and wants a signature by Friday. A quiet remote track you can barely hear on car speakers. None of it is the conversation, and all of it stands between Tuesday's recording and Thursday's release.
Here are fourteen of those side tasks, each with the free in-browser MyTools tool that handles it. These are the tools for podcast hosts that live in a browser tab, so there's nothing to install and no account to create.
The First Ten Seconds of Fumbling
Every raw recording starts the same way: you clearing your throat, the guest asking if they're being recorded, a false start before the real intro. None of that belongs in the published file, and neither does the dead air after you both say goodbye but before you stop the recording.
Trim Audio gives you two drag handles on a waveform. Pull the left one past the fumbling, pull the right one in before the silence, and download the clean cut. You hear exactly where you're cutting before you commit, so the episode opens on your actual first word.
One Episode From Three Clips
Your standard episode is built from parts: a recorded intro you reuse every week, the interview itself, and an outro with the sponsor read and the sign-off. They sit on your drive as three separate files, and stitching them in a full editor is overkill for something this simple.
Merge audio lets you drop the three files in, drag them into intro-interview-outro order, and export one continuous track. The order you arrange them is the order they play, so the published episode is a single file ready for the hosting upload.
The Guest Who Recorded Too Quietly
Remote guests never match your levels. They sit too far from the mic, or their laptop input was turned down, and their half of the conversation comes back thin. Played on a phone speaker or in a car, their answers nearly vanish under yours.
Boost Audio Volume pushes a track up by a set number of decibels with a brick-wall limiter holding the peaks. Add the gain the quiet guest needs, keep the limiter on, and the louder file plays at a normal listening level with no distortion or crackle creeping in.
Under the Hosting Upload Cap
The finished episode is a forty-minute, high-bitrate file, and your hosting plan or your email has a ceiling it won't cross. You don't want to re-export from the editor and re-do the whole bounce just to shave megabytes.
Compress Audio re-encodes the file to MP3 at the bitrate you pick, and shows you the projected size before you commit. Choose a bitrate that keeps voices clean, watch the estimate drop under the cap, and download the smaller file.
The Interview You Need to Skim Tonight
You recorded ninety minutes and you need to find the four moments worth promoting before tomorrow. Listening at normal speed means giving up another ninety minutes you don't have, and a fast-talking guest can be just as hard to follow in the other direction.
Change Audio Speed sets a playback rate between 0.5x and 2x while holding the original pitch, so nobody sounds like a chipmunk or an underwater recording. Speed the file up to skim for clips tonight, or slow a rapid talker down when you're pulling an exact quote.
The WAV Your Editor Won't Open
A guest recorded their side locally to get better quality and sent you the file, but it landed as a WAV, an M4A, or a FLAC, and the tool you edit in stalls on it. The back-and-forth of asking them to re-export wastes a day you'd rather spend cutting.
Audio to MP3 converts WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, and more into the MP3 every editor and player still understands. Drop the guest's file in, get an MP3 back, and import it without another email.
An Audiogram for the Feed
A podcast is audio, but Instagram and YouTube won't accept a raw MP3 upload. To promote an episode where your audience actually scrolls, you need the sound wrapped in something that plays as a video.
MP3 to MP4 turns your clip into a video with a cover image you choose, at the resolution the platform wants. Pick the thirty-second hook, drop your show art behind it, and you have a shareable audiogram for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok without opening a video editor.
The Guest Who Only Sent the Video Call
Sometimes the recording you're handed is the screen capture from a video call, and you only want the sound. Keeping a multi-gigabyte video around just to edit the audio out of it is a waste of drive space and patience.
MP4 to MP3 pulls the soundtrack out of a video and saves it as a standalone MP3. Upload the call recording, extract the audio, and work with a file that's a fraction of the size and ready for your usual edit.
Cover Art That Has to Be Square
Every podcast directory wants square artwork, and the image your designer sent, or the photo you grabbed for a one-off bonus episode, isn't. Submitting a rectangle gets it rejected or awkwardly letterboxed in the app.
Crop Image lets you frame the exact square you want and drop everything outside it. Set the crop, see the result before you save, and download artwork that fits the directory's shape on the first try.
Artwork Over the Size Limit
Your cover art looks great at full resolution and weighs far too much for the hosting dashboard, which caps the file at a specific pixel size and rejects anything larger. The image is right; it's just too big.
Resize Image brings the dimensions down to fit the cap without a quality drop you'll notice on screen. Set the target size, let it shrink, and upload artwork the dashboard accepts.
The Headshot That Came In Tiny
A guest sends a photo for the episode page, and it's a 400-pixel thumbnail pulled off an old profile. Stretched to fit your template, it turns blocky and soft, and it looks worse than no photo at all.
Upscale Image runs AI super-resolution in your browser to enlarge it 2x or 4x without the blocky stretch. The small headshot comes back sharp enough for the episode page and the promo graphic both.
The Sponsor Contract Due Friday
A sponsor sends the insertion order or the agreement as a PDF form and wants it back signed before the weekend. Printing it, filling it by hand, scanning it, and emailing the scan is four steps for what should be one.
Fill PDF lets you type straight onto the form fields in your browser and download the completed file. No printer, no scanner, no shaky photo of a signed page taped to your desk.
A Media Kit That Looks the Same Everywhere
When a brand asks for your rate card and audience numbers, you've written it in Word. Send the .docx and it opens in a different version on their end, the layout drifts, and your clean one-sheet arrives looking ragged.
Word to PDF converts the document so what you see is what they get on any screen. Send the PDF instead and your media kit holds its formatting in every inbox it lands in.
One File for the Whole Pitch
Your sponsorship pitch is more than the rate card: there's a cover page, the listener stats, and a couple of past sponsor testimonials, each its own PDF. Sending four attachments looks scattered, and brands skim the first one and ignore the rest.
Merge PDF combines them into a single document in the order you set. Arrange cover, stats, then testimonials, export one file, and the brand opens a tidy pitch instead of an attachment pile.
A Code People Can Scan at the Event
You're on a live panel or tabling at a conference, and you want the audience to follow the show without spelling out a URL. A printed link on a poster or a card never gets typed in; a code people can point a phone at does.
QR Code Generator turns your show link into a code you can drop on a poster, a slide, or a business card. Generate it, download a clean PNG or SVG, and let people subscribe with a scan instead of a search.
Fourteen files, none of them the conversation. The trimming and the merging and the cover art and the sponsor paperwork all live in the same week as the interview you actually care about.
With that work done in a browser tab instead of a stack of apps you half-remember how to use, the time goes back where it belongs: reading for the next guest, writing the question that lands, sitting down at the microphone for the part that made you start a podcast in the first place.
