WAV to MP3

Turn large WAV recordings into compact MP3 files in your browser.

Your files stay on your device.

Drop your WAV file to convert it to MP3

MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, AIFF and WebM recordings, or MP4, MOV and WebM videos, up to 2 GB.

Recordings are processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and your original is never changed.

Before you convert

  • Keep the WAV for editing: MP3 removes detail you mostly cannot hear. For further editing, keep the WAV and convert copies.
  • High resolution WAV: 8, 16, 24 and 32-bit PCM and 32-bit float WAV files are read. 88.2 or 96 kHz recordings are resampled for MP3; the page shows the new rate.
  • Mono stays mono: Mono recordings stay mono in the MP3, which keeps voice memos even smaller.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my MP3 be?

A stereo WAV at 44.1 kHz uses 1411 kbps. At 192 kbps the MP3 is about seven times smaller, at 128 kbps about eleven times.

Can I convert several WAV files at once?

Not in one step. To join several recordings into one MP3, use Merge Audio.

How long can the recording be?

Files up to 2 GB and 2 hours of audio. Only the audio is read, so large video files are fine. A WAV result is capped at about 1 GB, which is roughly 90 minutes of stereo sound.
