AAC is a compressed audio format with better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate. MP3 is the universal compressed audio format — small files that play on every device. File Transmute turns your AAC into MP3 right in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, and no daily limit. Because the conversion runs on your own device, even sensitive files stay private, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Best for

  • Making an AAC track or recording play on a device or app that needs MP3
  • Standardising an AAC music library to MP3
  • Sharing audio in the format everyone can open

Good to know

Converts AAC audio to widely-compatible MP3. Both are lossy, so converting re-encodes once — inaudible at a good bitrate, but avoid repeatedly converting back and forth. Choose a higher bitrate for music, lower for spoken word.
