FLAC to MP3 Converter
Make FLAC albums and tracks small enough for phones, cars and players, with their tags. Files are converted on your device, never uploaded.
How to convert FLAC to MP3
Three steps, all in your browser.
1. Choose your FLAC files
Drop up to 20 FLAC files at a time, a whole album for example, up to 2 GB each. They are read on your device.
2. Pick the bitrate
MP3 at 192 kbps is chosen for you. 320 kbps is the usual choice for music from FLAC.
3. Convert and download
Press Convert, then Download all. Each MP3 keeps the track's name, title, artist and album.
About the formats
FLAC – Free Lossless Audio Codec
FLAC keeps the sound of a CD or a studio master exactly, at about half the size of WAV. That is still several times the size of an MP3, and many car stereos, older players and some phones don't play it.
MP3 – MPEG-1 Audio Layer III
Compressed audio that every device plays. At 192 kbps a minute takes about 1.4 MB; at 320 kbps most listeners can't tell it from the FLAC.
WAV and M4A
WAV is the uncompressed choice for editors that don't open FLAC (up to 30 minutes per file). M4A (AAC at 256 kbps) suits iPhones and iTunes.
Why people convert FLAC to MP3
Music for the car or an old player
Many car stereos, MP3 players and USB speakers don't read FLAC. Convert an album once and copy the MP3s over.
More music on a phone
An album in MP3 takes a fraction of the space of the FLAC, so a whole library fits on a phone or a memory card.
Sharing and uploading
Send a track by e-mail or chat, or upload it to a site that takes MP3 only, while you keep the FLAC as the master.

FLAC to MP3: frequently asked questions
How the converter works and what it can do.
How do I convert FLAC to MP3?
Choose one or more FLAC files above, keep MP3 selected (or pick a bitrate), press Convert to MP3 and download the results. It runs in your browser, with no upload and no queue.
Which bitrate should I choose?
320 kbps is the highest MP3 quality and the usual choice when the source is lossless. 192 kbps sounds like the FLAC to most listeners at a smaller size; 128 kbps is for speech.
Are the title, artist and album kept?
Yes. Tags such as title, artist, album and track number are copied into the MP3. Embedded cover pictures are not copied.
Can I convert a whole album at once?
Yes. Add up to 20 files at a time, each up to 2 GB; they are converted one after another with the same settings, and Download all saves them together.
Can I convert 24-bit or 96 kHz FLAC files?
Yes. High-resolution FLACs are converted too. MP3 can store up to 48 kHz, so a 96 kHz file becomes a 48 kHz MP3; keep the FLAC as your master.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg. Only the audio engine (about 31 MB) is downloaded, once; your music never leaves your device.
Can I convert FLAC to WAV instead?
Yes. Choose WAV before converting, for an editor that doesn't open FLAC. WAV files can be up to 30 minutes long.
Is it free?
Yes. It needs no account, adds no watermark and does not limit how many files you convert.
