Convert WAV to MP3

WAV files from recorders, DAWs and sample libraries are often far bigger than they need to be for listening or sharing. MP3 compresses them dramatically and plays on essentially every phone, car stereo and media player. The encoding runs in your browser, so your recordings are never uploaded, and you can fill in the tags at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will the MP3 be?

It depends on the length and channels of the recording, but MP3 compression removes a large share of the data an uncompressed WAV holds.

Will I lose audio quality?

MP3 is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded. For everyday listening this is hard to notice.

Can I keep the original tags?

Tags found in the source file are read and offered in the metadata panel, where you can edit them before converting.
