WAV to MP3

WAV files keep the full sound, but they are huge: about ten times the size of an MP3. Here it becomes an MP3 that plays anywhere, in seconds and right on your device.

100% safe and privateYour files are not sent to any server.

When to convert WAV to MP3

  • Sending by email or WhatsApp

    A 3-minute WAV is about 30 MB; as an MP3 it is around 4 MB and goes through any app.

  • Uploading to sites with a size limit

    Forms, school platforms and some music sites refuse big WAV files.

  • Saving space on your phone

    A playlist in MP3 takes about a tenth of the space.

  • Playing in the car or on a USB stick

    Older car stereos and players often read MP3 only.

Common questions

Does converting WAV to MP3 lose quality?

WAV 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 smaller will my file be?

A 3-minute stereo WAV of about 30 MB becomes an MP3 of about 4 MB at 192 kbps.

Can I convert a 24-bit WAV?

Yes. WAV files at 16 or 24 bits and at 44.1 or 48 kHz open normally.

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 WAV 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.
