Audio converter

Convert audio and video files to MP3, WAV, M4A directly in your browser (FLAC accepted as input). No installs, no uploads (total privacy). Note: This only changes the file's container; it cannot make the original audio sound better.

Quick format selection guide

Who needs an audio converter?

• Shrink massive meeting recordings into lightweight MP3s for sharing
• Rescue weird audio formats so older devices can actually play them
• Prep uncompressed WAV files for video and music editors
• Squeeze huge audio files to fit email or chat app limits
• Extract just the audio track out of a video file

The converter runs entirely in your browser: the file is never uploaded anywhere, and it keeps working on a flaky connection.

1. 1

   Pick the files to convert

   Drag in one or several audio or video files at once; each becomes its own row with its own status. For video, the picture is discarded and only the audio track is kept.

2. 2

   Choose the target format

   MP3 for small files and the widest compatibility, WAV when you need the quality intact for further processing, M4A for the Apple ecosystem.

3. 3

   Set the bitrate for MP3 or M4A

   A higher bitrate means a bigger file and less lost detail. 192 to 320 kbps is the usual range for music.

4. 4

   Convert and download

   Press once and the files run one after another; each row shows its own download button as soon as it finishes. The new file is produced in the browser; the original is left unchanged.

• Converting only repackages the audio data into a different container. It does not make a recording sound better.
• Going from MP3 to WAV cannot recover the detail lost in the first compression. It only makes the file larger.
• Very long files use a lot of browser memory, because all the data is processed on your machine. That is why several files run one at a time, never in parallel.
• Each file counts as its own run: dropping 3 files uses 3 turns, exactly as converting them one by one would.
