About the formats
FLAC
Free Lossless Audio Codec
FLAC is an open format that compresses audio to roughly half size without losing any quality. Music archivists and hi-fi listeners prefer it.
MP3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III
MP3 is the most widespread audio format in the world. Lossy compression shrinks files to about a tenth of WAV, and it plays on every device.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting FLAC to MP3 free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
