Common questions
Why convert FLAC to MP3?
FLAC is lossless compression: about half the size of WAV with no loss of quality, so it suits music collections. Convert to MP3 when you need a file that works on the device or app you are using, or when you want a smaller file. MP3 is the most widely supported audio format. It plays on every phone, car stereo and music app, and its lossy compression keeps files small.
Will the sound quality drop?
A little, by design: MP3 is a lossy format, so some detail is traded for a much smaller file. At 192 kbit/s or above most people cannot hear the difference.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser tab, so your audio never leaves your device. We cannot see it or keep a copy.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes. Drop several files in and they are converted one after another. When they finish you can download each one, or all of them together as one ZIP.
Why was the first conversion slow to start?
The first time you convert audio or video, your browser downloads the conversion engine (ffmpeg, about 30 MB) from a public CDN. After that it is cached, so the next ones start straight away. Your files are not part of that download.
How big a file can I convert?
Everything runs in your browser's memory, so the limit is your device. We suggest about 500 MB on a computer and 100 MB on a phone. Beyond that, the tab may slow down or run out of memory. A computer is much faster than a phone.
