Format details

Smaller audio with a clear bitrate choice

WAV commonly stores uncompressed audio, while MP3 uses lossy compression. Choose 128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps; higher bitrates generally increase both retained audio quality and file size.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Is my media file uploaded?

No. Your file is written only to FFmpeg's temporary browser-local virtual filesystem and is never sent to a conversion server.

Does MP3 preserve every WAV sample?

No. MP3 is a lossy format, so conversion trades some audio information for a smaller file.

Which MP3 encoder is used?

The local FFmpeg engine uses libmp3lame and verifies that the encoder is available before conversion.
