About this tool
WAV recordings sound great but take up a lot of room, and they're too large to send easily. Converting to MP3 usually cuts them to around a seventh of the size at 192 kbps, and most people can't hear the difference in ordinary listening.
Common questions
Which bitrate should I use for music?
192 kbps is a good balance, and 320 kbps is the highest MP3 goes. For speech, such as a lecture or a voice note, 96 kbps is usually plenty.
Should I keep the WAV file?
If it's an original recording, yes. MP3 removes some sound for good, so keep the WAV if you may want to edit it later.
Is it free to use?
Yes. You can use it without an account a few times a day, and a free account raises the daily limit. Nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.
What happens to my files?
Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
