About this option

FLAC keeps every detail of a recording, which makes files several times larger than MP3. For phones, cars and sharing, converting to MP3 trades a little fidelity for a much smaller file. This page opens the converter on MP3 at 192 kbps.

When to use it

  • Fitting a lossless music collection onto a phone with limited storage
  • Sending a track to someone whose player can't read FLAC
  • Creating a light copy of a master recording for review

How to use it

  1. 1Drop your FLAC file — MP3 is already selected
  2. 2Click Convert
  3. 3Download the MP3 and keep the FLAC as your lossless copy

Frequently asked questions

Is the conversion reversible?

No. Converting MP3 back to FLAC doesn't restore lost detail, so keep your original FLAC files.

What bitrate is used?

192 kbps, a good balance of size and quality for everyday listening.

Do tags such as artist and title carry over?

Basic tags may be preserved depending on the file, but check them in your player after converting.
