FLAC to MP3 Converter

Convert FLAC files to MP3 in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, M4B, MP4, AAC, OGA or WEBA, one or many. Drop them here or paste with ⌘V / Ctrl+V. Choose what each becomes on its row.

Runs on your device. Files are read and converted in your browser and aren't uploaded.

FLAC

  • Lossless
  • Compressed
  • Music archives

Lossless audio in about half the space of a WAV. FLAC keeps every sample but packs it tightly, which makes it the favourite for music collections and archives. Most players and Android phones play it; Apple Music and iTunes don't.

MP3

  • Lossy
  • Plays everywhere
  • Small files

The audio format almost everything plays. MP3 makes small files by leaving out detail most ears won't miss, which makes it the safe choice for music, podcasts and voice notes you want to share, upload or keep on a phone.

When you'd do this

Your music is in FLAC but your phone, car or player doesn't play it, or you want a collection that fits in a fraction of the space.

What to expect

A 4-minute track in FLAC is typically about 24 MB. As an MP3 at 320 kbps — where this page starts — it's about 9.2 MB; at 192 kbps, about 5.5 MB.

Recommended settings

320 kbps: a FLAC has lost nothing yet, so it's worth giving the MP3 the most it can hold, and it's still around a third of the FLAC's size. 192 kbps is fine if space matters more.

Where it plays

Every phone, car stereo, music app and player — including iTunes and Apple Music, which won't play FLAC.

Good to know

  • Track titles, artists and album art aren't copied — re-tag the MP3s in your music app.
  • Hi-res FLACs (96 or 192 kHz) are resampled to 48 kHz, the most MP3 can store.
  • An MP3 made here can be up to 60 minutes long; plenty for a track, not for a long DJ mix.
  • Safari reads a FLAC whole, so there it can be up to 200 MB and 30 minutes; Chrome, Edge and Firefox read it piece by piece.

How to do it

  1. Choose your FLAC files, or drop them on the page — as many as you like.
  2. Each is set to MP3. Change one on its own row if you like, and the MP3 bitrate and the channels in Settings.
  3. Convert all, then download each MP3, or all of them in one .zip.

Questions

Is a 320 kbps MP3 as good as FLAC?
Not bit for bit — MP3 is lossy — but at 320 kbps very few people can hear the difference.
Can I convert a whole FLAC album to MP3?
Yes. Add every track, press Convert all and download them together as a .zip.
Are my FLAC files uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser; the files stay on your device.
