MP3 Converter: Turn Any Audio or Video File Into MP3

MP3 is the format every phone, car, editor and upload form accepts. Drop in a voice memo, a WAV from a recorder, a FLAC album track or a video, pick a quality, and save an MP3. The conversion runs on your own device, so the file is never uploaded.

Your file never leaves your device. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. Pick a file. Drag in a recording, a voice memo or a video. It opens in this tab; nothing is sent to a server.
  2. Choose the format. MP3 or M4A for small files that play anywhere, WAV or FLAC when you need lossless audio, OGG for the web. Set the quality if you like.
  3. Download it. Your browser converts the file and saves the result to your device. If you need a transcript, send the new file to the free Wave AI transcription tool in one click.

Common questions

Which files can this MP3 converter open?

Almost any audio or video file: M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, Opus, AAC, WMA, AIFF and AMR, plus MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI video. For a video, it keeps the sound and drops the picture.

Is my file uploaded to convert it?

Nowhere. The converter runs inside your browser tab, so the file is read and converted on your own device and saved straight back to it. It is never uploaded to Wave or anyone else, and we never see its name or contents.

Which MP3 bitrate should I choose?

128 kbps for speech, 192 kbps for most music, 320 kbps (the MP3 maximum) when you want the highest quality. A higher bitrate than the source had only makes the file bigger.

Is there a limit on files or size?

No daily limit and no account, because your own device does the work. Each file can be up to 500MB; on phones, files over 200MB may run out of browser memory.
