About Audio converter

Audio converter re-encodes sound files into the format a device or app expects, and pulls the soundtrack out of videos. Lossy outputs are MP3 (192 kbps by default, constant or LAME VBR), M4A and raw AAC (160 kbps), OGG Vorbis (160 kbps) and Opus (128 kbps); lossless outputs are WAV and AIFF with 16-bit PCM, and FLAC, which is typically about half the size of WAV with identical sound. When the original stream already fits the new container, such as AAC audio from a phone video going into M4A, it is copied without re-encoding, and the row says so.

You can resample to 48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16 or 8 kHz, mix stereo down to mono for voice recordings, and normalise loudness to −16 LUFS following EBU R128, which evens out podcasts and lecture recordings that are too quiet or uneven. Title and artist tags are copied by default and can be edited per file before converting; other tags such as album art may not survive every format change.

Common jobs: WAV recordings into MP3 for sharing, M4A voice memos into MP3 for old players and car stereos, FLAC into M4A for an iPhone, WMA files from an old collection into something modern, and a lecture's audio taken from an MP4. Converting a lossy file such as an MP3 into WAV or FLAC makes it bigger but not better, and audio protected by DRM, like some iTunes and streaming downloads, can't be read.

Privacy

Decoding and encoding run in this tab: through WebCodecs and mediabunny, with LAME, AAC and FLAC encoders compiled to WebAssembly and served from this site, or through ffmpeg.wasm in a Web Worker for formats and loudness normalisation the browser can't handle. No audio is uploaded. ffmpeg's 31 MB core comes from the jsDelivr CDN only when needed, is cached, and the request contains no audio.

Features

Eight output formats

MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, Opus, AAC and AIFF, from any audio or video input.

Copy when possible

Streams that already fit the new container are copied instantly, with no quality loss.

Loudness normalisation

Even out quiet or uneven recordings to −16 LUFS (EBU R128).

Edit tags

Keep or change the title and artist of each file before converting.

Audio converter: frequently asked questions

How do I convert WAV to MP3?
Drop the WAV files, keep MP3 selected and press Convert. The default of 192 kbps constant bitrate sounds transparent to most listeners and shrinks a WAV to roughly a seventh of its size; choose 320 kbps or VBR V0 for critical music listening, or 128 kbps for speech. Each file is saved with the same name and an .mp3 extension, ready to download.
Will converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?
Yes, a little, because both are lossy formats and the audio has to be decoded and compressed again. At 192 kbps or higher the difference is very hard to hear; at 128 kbps you may notice it on cymbals and strings. If your device supports M4A, keep the original. To archive without any loss, convert to FLAC instead, which keeps every sample of the decoded audio.
What does Normalize loudness do?
It measures how loud the recording sounds overall and adjusts it to −16 LUFS, the level podcasts and streaming services aim for, using the EBU R128 standard. Quiet recordings get louder and loud ones are tamed, with a limiter so peaks don't clip. It is useful for voice memos, interviews and lectures; for mastered music, leave it off to keep the original dynamics.
Can I extract the audio from a video?
Yes. Drop an MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM or other video and choose the audio format you want. The video track is ignored and only the sound is converted. Choose M4A for phone videos: their AAC audio is usually copied straight into the M4A file without re-encoding, which is instant and lossless. MP3 is the most compatible choice for older players and car stereos.
Which audio format should I choose?
MP3 plays on everything, from car stereos to smart speakers. M4A with AAC sounds better than MP3 at the same size and is native on iPhone, Mac and Android. Opus is the most efficient, excellent for voice at 64 kbps and music at 128 kbps. Choose FLAC to archive without loss, WAV or AIFF for editing software, and plain AAC only for devices that ask for .aac files.
