Audio Converter

The Audio Converter supports popular audio formats including MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, and FLAC. You can convert between any of these formats with customizable quality settings.

The audio conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your audio file is decoded, processed according to your quality settings, and re-encoded in the desired format. No files are uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

Yes! You can customize several quality settings including overall quality percentage (10%-100%), bitrate (64-320 kbps), and sample rate (22,050-96,000 Hz). Higher settings produce better quality but larger file sizes.

MP3 is widely compatible but lossy (reduces quality for smaller files). WAV is uncompressed with perfect quality but larger files. OGG offers good compression with open-source licensing. M4A provides excellent compression while maintaining quality. FLAC offers lossless compression for audiophiles who want perfect quality with reduced file size.

The tool can handle most audio files, but very large files (over 100MB) may cause performance issues or memory problems depending on your device. For best performance, we recommend files under 50MB. Processing time increases with file size.

Quality depends on your settings and target format. Converting to lossy formats like MP3 at lower bitrates will reduce quality. Converting between lossless formats (WAV to FLAC) or using high-quality settings minimizes quality loss. The quality slider lets you balance file size vs. audio quality.

Currently, the tool processes one audio file at a time. This allows for individual customization of quality settings for each file. You can convert multiple files by processing them sequentially.

Common reasons include: device compatibility (some devices only support certain formats), file size optimization for storage or streaming, quality requirements for different uses, software compatibility, uploading to platforms with format restrictions, or personal preference for specific audio formats.

Absolutely! All audio processing happens locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your audio files are never uploaded to any server or transmitted over the internet. The conversion is completely client-side, ensuring your audio files remain private and secure.

If conversion fails, try: (1) checking that your audio file is not corrupted, (2) using a different quality setting, (3) trying a different output format, (4) ensuring your browser supports the Web Audio API, or (5) trying with a smaller file. Some very old or proprietary audio formats may not be supported.

For music: use 192-320 kbps MP3 or high-quality settings. For voice/podcasts: 128 kbps MP3 is usually sufficient. For archival purposes: use WAV or FLAC. For web streaming: use OGG or MP3. For mobile devices: use M4A or MP3. Higher sample rates (44,100+ Hz) are better for music, while lower rates work fine for speech.

This tool is designed specifically for audio files. If you have a video file and want to convert its audio, you would first need to extract the audio track using a video editing tool or video-to-audio converter, then use this tool to convert the extracted audio to your desired format.
