Common questions
Why convert AAC to MP3?
AAC is the successor to MP3 and is used by YouTube and many streaming services. A bare .aac file is less widely supported than M4A. Convert to MP3 when you need a file that works on the device or app you are using, or when you want a smaller file. MP3 is the most widely supported audio format. It plays on every phone, car stereo and music app, and its lossy compression keeps files small.
Will the sound quality drop?
Going from one lossy format to another loses a little more each time. Use the highest bitrate you are comfortable with, and keep the original file.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser tab, so your audio never leaves your device. We cannot see it or keep a copy.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes. Drop several files in and they are converted one after another. When they finish you can download each one, or all of them together as one ZIP.
Why was the first conversion slow to start?
The first time you convert audio or video, your browser downloads the conversion engine (ffmpeg, about 30 MB) from a public CDN. After that it is cached, so the next ones start straight away. Your files are not part of that download.
How big a file can I convert?
Everything runs in your browser's memory, so the limit is your device. We suggest about 500 MB on a computer and 100 MB on a phone. Beyond that, the tab may slow down or run out of memory. A computer is much faster than a phone.
