How to convert FLAC to MP3

Drop the FLAC and press Convert. Your browser decodes the lossless audio and the LAME encoder, loaded on first use, writes a 192 kbps MP3. A FLAC track is often 25–35 MB; the MP3 of a 4-minute song is about 5.6 MB.

Step by step

  1. 01Drop the FLAC file.
  2. 02Optionally drag the waveform handles to keep only part.
  3. 03Press Convert and download the MP3.

Why convert FLAC

FLAC is lossless and great for archiving, but files are large and some car stereos, older players, phones and apps don't play it. MP3 at 192 kbps plays on practically everything and takes a fraction of the space.

Browser support

Decoding FLAC uses your browser's own audio engine. Current Chrome, Edge and Firefox handle it. If a file won't open in your browser, try one of those.

  • Keep your FLAC files as the master copy.
  • Convert again from FLAC, not from an MP3, if you need a different format later.

Questions

Is FLAC to MP3 a big quality loss?

MP3 is lossy, but at 192 kbps most listeners can't tell it apart from the FLAC on normal headphones and speakers.

Are tags and album art kept?

Don't count on it. The converter focuses on the audio; re-tag the MP3 in your music app if you need artist and album details.

Which browsers can open FLAC?

Current Chrome, Edge and Firefox decode FLAC. Support in other browsers varies.

Is my music uploaded?

No. Decoding and encoding happen in this browser tab.
