FLAC to MP3 Converter
Convert FLAC files to MP3 instantly and privately. File Converts runs entirely in your browser, so your FLAC is never uploaded to any server.
Plays everywhere — the safe default for sharing.
Works offline after you have used it once: the engine downloads the first time and is kept. About 30 MB, once.
FLAC is lossless. It compresses to roughly half or 60% of the equivalent WAV while remaining bit-perfect, so decoding one gives you exactly the samples that were recorded — which makes it the format of choice for archiving a CD rip or a master.
That also makes this conversion different from converting one lossy format to another. There is no generation loss to worry about: the MP3 you get is the first lossy encoding this audio has been through, so at 256 or 320 kbps the result is genuinely close to indistinguishable on ordinary equipment. Convert freely, and keep the FLAC as your master.
Expect a large size drop — a 30 MB FLAC track becoming a 7 MB MP3 is typical, which is the entire point when the destination is a phone, a car, or an upload limit. Album art and tags usually carry across, but check them if the library matters to you.
Best for
- Shrinking lossless FLAC files to fit a phone or car stereo
- Converting a music library to a format every device plays
- Making tracks small enough to email or upload
Good to know
Converts lossless FLAC to widely-compatible MP3. MP3 is lossy, so the file is much smaller but drops some detail most listeners won't notice at a good bitrate — keep the FLAC if you want a pristine archive. Choose a higher bitrate for music, lower for spoken word.
