Frequently asked questions

What is an online soundboard?

An online soundboard is a grid of buttons that plays short audio effects on demand. This one also lets you add and rename your own local sound buttons.

Does GameShelf upload my audio files?

No. Custom audio is loaded into the current browser tab, is never sent to GameShelf, and disappears when you reset or close the page.

Which audio files can I add?

You can add up to eight common browser audio files, including MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, FLAC, Opus, and WebM, with a 10 MB limit per file.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Each visible pad shows its shortcut. The first pads use 1 through 0, followed by Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, and P.

Are the built-in sounds copyrighted recordings?

No. The built-in effects are original sounds synthesized in real time with the browser Web Audio API rather than prerecorded clips.
