FLAC and MP3, explained
FLAC is lossless: it keeps every detail of the original at roughly half the size of a WAV. Music collectors use it, but many phones and editors don't open it.
MP3 is the format every phone, car and app plays. It's lossy: it drops the sounds people hear least to keep files small.
Going from FLAC to MP3 makes the file much smaller. MP3 is lossy, so at low bitrates you lose some detail; at 192 kbps or more most people can't hear a difference.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Does converting FLAC to MP3 lose quality?
MP3 is lossy, so a little. At 192 kbps or more it's hard to hear.
Will the MP3 be bigger or smaller?
Much smaller, often 5 to 10 times.
How long does it take?
Seconds for most files: audio converts quickly, even in the browser.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
