Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will the MP3 be than the WAV?

Typically 5-10x smaller, depending on the MP3 bitrate — this tool encodes at 192kbps by default.

Is my audio file uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser. Your audio file is never sent over the network — see our How It Works page for the technical details.

Is MP3 lossy or lossless?

MP3 is a lossy format, meaning some audio detail is discarded to reduce file size. At 192kbps the difference is generally hard to notice for most listening.

Can I choose a different output format instead of MP3?

Yes — the embedded converter also supports WAV, AAC, OGG, and FLAC; just pick a different format from the dropdown.
