Convert WAV to MP3

Upload a WAV file and convert it to MP3 in your browser.

Your file never leaves your device. All processing happens right in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Why convert WAV to MP3?

WAV files commonly contain uncompressed PCM audio, which can make them large and inconvenient to share.

This tool encodes your WAV as a 320 kbps MP3. The resulting file is much smaller and widely supported by phones, computers, car stereos, media players, and sharing applications.

MP3 uses lossy compression, so some audio information is permanently discarded. Convert to MP3 when file size and compatibility matter more than retaining an uncompressed source.

What to expect

The output is a constant-bitrate MP3 encoded at 320 kbps, the highest standard MP3 bitrate. It uses approximately 2.4 MB per minute of audio, although the final file may be slightly larger because of metadata and file overhead.

If you need to reduce the file size without using lossy compression, consider FLAC instead.

Common reasons to convert WAV to MP3

Create a smaller copy of a recording for sharing, reduce the space used by voice recordings and demos, or prepare audio for a device or application that works more conveniently with MP3.
