Convert WAV to MP3

Free WAV to MP3 extraction - processed entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

WAV is uncompressed - ten minutes of stereo audio is a hundred megabytes, which is why recording gear and DAWs love it and everything else hates it. Converting to 192kbps MP3 cuts the size by roughly 90% while staying transparent for most listening. The conversion runs in your browser, so multi-hundred-megabyte session files never crawl through an upload.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my file get?

CD-quality WAV runs about 10MB per minute; 192kbps MP3 runs about 1.4MB per minute. A 100MB WAV becomes roughly a 14MB MP3.

Should I keep the WAV after converting?

If it's a master recording, yes - WAV is your lossless original, and MP3 is a distribution copy. Re-encoding an MP3 later always compounds quality loss; re-encoding from WAV doesn't.
