Convert FLAC to MP3

FLAC is the format you archive in; MP3 is the format the world plays. If the car refuses your rips or the phone is full, converting a copy to 320 kbps MP3 costs about a quarter of the space and, for listening on ordinary gear, none of the pleasure. The word to hold onto is copy: this page is for making one, not for replacing the original.

How to convert FLAC to MP3

  1. Add your FLAC files

    A track or an album. They are decoded by your browser and never uploaded.

  2. Leave it on MP3

    320 kbps constant — the ceiling of the format.

  3. Save the MP3s

    Track by track, or the album as a zip.

What you get

An album that fits the device

A FLAC album runs three to four hundred megabytes; the same album at 320 kbps MP3 is about a hundred. Multiply by a music library and that is the difference between choosing what to carry and carrying it all.

320 kbps, because you started lossless

Converting from a perfect source deserves the best the target has. There is no bitrate menu here to talk you down to 128 — one encode, at the format's ceiling, every time.

Whole albums in one pass

Drop the folder. Every track converts in order, keeps its name, and comes back in one zip — no re-picking files one at a time.

Your library stays home

Rips of your own CDs are decoded in the page and never leave the machine — no server, no queue, no copy of your library anywhere else.

Questions about FLAC

Can I hear the difference between FLAC and 320 MP3?
In blind tests, almost nobody can, on almost all music, on ordinary equipment. That is not a claim that the formats are equal — FLAC is bit-perfect and MP3 is not — it is a claim about ears and car speakers. Archive in FLAC, listen in whichever is convenient, and let the blind-test humility save you the storage argument.
Should I delete the FLAC after converting?
No. The FLAC is the master: lossless, future-proof, re-encodable into whatever format matters in ten years. The MP3 is a convenience copy for devices that need one. Deleting the master to keep the copy is the one genuinely wrong answer this page can help you avoid.
Do the tags and album art come along?
No. Each MP3 keeps the FLAC's filename, but no tags or artwork are written into it. A tagger such as MusicBrainz Picard or Mp3tag can fill them in for a whole album from an online lookup.
What about 24-bit or high-resolution FLAC?
It converts fine. The audio is resampled to 44.1 kHz on the way into MP3 — the rate this tool encodes at and, on the gear this copy is for, indistinguishable. The high-resolution original stays untouched on your disk, which is where high resolution belongs.
Is it free, and is my file uploaded?
Free, with no account and no cap on how many files. Each file has a length limit, though: about an hour and a half in Chrome and Edge, and three hours in Firefox and Safari, which cut anything longer at that point. The conversion runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.
