Frequently asked questions
Does converting MP3 to WAV improve quality? No. Converting lossy to lossless doesn’t recover lost data. The WAV will be a larger file with the same quality as the MP3. Only convert to WAV if software requires that format as input.
Does converting FLAC to MP3 lose quality? Yes, slightly. MP3 is lossy. At 320kbps the difference is negligible for most listeners. At 128kbps it’s noticeable on good speakers.
Can I convert audiobook or podcast files? Yes. M4A, M4B (audiobook), MP3, and OGG all work. Just drop them in.
Is there a file size limit? Browser processing handles files up to a few hundred MB depending on your device. Desktop app handles larger files.
Can I convert multiple audio files at once? Desktop app supports batch conversion. Browser handles one file at a time.
