Convert an audio file to MP3, WAV or M4A
Move between MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG. Set the bitrate and keep or change the sample rate, all on your own device.
How it works
Choose your audio file
The file is read straight from your device.
Pick an output format
Lossy formats are smaller; lossless formats keep every detail.
Set the bitrate
Higher bitrates sound better and produce larger files.
The track is opened, not sent
Editing audio normally means uploading the file and hoping the service is trustworthy. Here your browser opens the track from your disk, works on it in place, and saves the result back. The audio never crosses the network.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue, no render farm and no waiting room. The track is worked on in front of you and released the moment the tab closes. The how it works page covers what actually happens inside the tab, and our DevTools guide shows how to confirm 0 bytes are uploaded.
What people use it for
Making a track play everywhere
Some players only accept one container. Converting once removes the guesswork.
Sending a voice note that is too long
A ten-minute recording is a lot to ask someone to play. Trim it to the useful minute and it actually gets heard.
Fitting an episode inside a feed limit
Podcast hosts set a maximum size. Checking the result here saves a failed upload later.
Keeping a copy that will still open in ten years
A widely supported format is a safer long-term bet than a container only one app understands.

When something goes wrong
Corrupt files, and formats outside the list above, stop with a plain message rather than a spinner that never finishes. If a track plays in your music app it will normally open here.
The audio container is not one the browser can read. Convert it to MP3 or WAV first, then run it through again.
Why not an upload site
An upload-based audio editor sends your recording to a server and sends the result back. Removing that round trip removes the waiting, the caps and the copy of your file.

Questions
Which format should I choose?
MP3 is the safest choice for sharing because everything plays it. M4A gives better quality at the same size. WAV and FLAC are lossless and ideal for editing, but produce much larger files.
Does converting from MP3 to WAV improve quality?
No. Converting to a lossless format preserves exactly what is there, but it cannot restore detail that was discarded when the MP3 was originally created. It only prevents any further loss.
What bitrate should I use?
192 kbps is a good general default for music. 128 kbps is fine for speech and podcasts. Below 96 kbps you will start to hear artefacts, especially in music.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit is imposed by the tool. The practical ceiling is how much memory your device has free, because the whole job runs inside this browser tab.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes, once the page has loaded. Nothing is fetched while you work, so a dropped connection does not interrupt a run.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing is ever attached to an identity because no file leaves your device.
