FLAC keeps full CD quality, but many phones, car stereos and speakers do not play it. Here it becomes an MP3 that plays anywhere, in seconds and right on your device.

Common questions

Does converting FLAC to MP3 lose quality?

FLAC has no loss, and MP3 removes details that are hard to hear. At 192 kbps most people cannot tell the difference. If you need the exact sound, pick WAV or FLAC instead.

How much space do I save?

A 4-minute song in FLAC has around 25 to 30 MB; as MP3 at 192 kbps it has about 6 MB.

Should I keep the FLAC?

If you can, yes: keep the FLAC as the original and use the MP3 on your phone or in the car.

Is it free? Is there a limit?

It is free, with no account and no limit on the number of files. Very long files take longer, especially on a phone.

Is my FLAC file uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your own browser, and your file is not sent to any server.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in an up-to-date browser such as Safari or Chrome. The file is saved to your downloads.
