Why convert FLAC to MP3?

FLAC is perfect for archiving and far too large for a phone or a car stereo.

How to convert FLAC to MP3

1. Choose your FLAC file. Drop it on the box above, or tap to browse. You can pick several files at once.
2. Confirm the target is .mp3. It is preselected when your browser can encode it; otherwise the closest available target is chosen. Adjust quality, size or the other options if you want to.

What is a .flac file?

FLAC compresses audio to roughly half its size while preserving every original sample exactly. It is the format of choice for archiving a CD collection or distributing high-resolution music, at the cost of files several times larger than an MP3.

What is a .mp3 file?

MP3 is the audio format everything understands — every phone, car stereo, browser and media player made this century. It is lossy, but at 192 kbps or above most listeners cannot tell it from the original, and its universality outweighs the newer formats' efficiency.

What to expect from this conversion

The audio is decoded and re-encoded with the target codec. Choose 192 kbps or higher for music; speech is perfectly clear at less. Converting between two lossy formats always loses a little, so work from the original where you can. FLAC is lossless, so this is the best possible starting point for any conversion.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. Every conversion happens inside your own browser using your device’s processor — there is no server that receives your FLAC file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, scan or leak. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab while you convert, and you will see no upload.
