Audio Converter
Convert MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, and AIFF. Works with audio or video files.
What does this audio converter do?
Convert any audio file (or video) to a different audio format. Useful when you need a specific codec for a device, software, or platform — and you don't want to install desktop tools.
MP3 — universal compatibility
192 kbps MP3 plays on every phone, car stereo, and media player. Use this when sharing audio with non-technical people or uploading to platforms that don't support newer formats.
WAV — lossless and DAW-ready
Uncompressed 16-bit PCM WAV is the standard input format for audio editors and DAWs like Audacity, Logic, FL Studio, and Pro Tools. Big files but perfect quality.
FLAC — lossless and smaller
FLAC keeps every sample bit-perfect like WAV, but compresses files to about half the size. Preferred by music collectors and high-quality streaming services.
M4A / AAC — Apple ecosystem
M4A and AAC are the default formats for iTunes, Apple Music, and iOS. Slightly better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate.
OGG Vorbis & Opus — open and modern
OGG Vorbis is the default for many games and Linux audio. Opus is the modern open codec that powers Discord and WhatsApp — at 128 kbps it sounds as good as MP3 at 192.
AIFF — Apple uncompressed
AIFF is Apple's native uncompressed format. Use this for Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro workflows that require AIFF specifically.
Audio converter FAQ
Can I convert a video file to audio?
Yes. Upload an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, or FLV and pick an audio output format — the converter extracts the audio track and re-encodes it. If you specifically want to extract audio from video, our /video-to-mp3 page is tuned for that use case.
What's the difference between MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, and Opus?
All five are lossy formats. MP3 is the most compatible. M4A and AAC sound a bit better than MP3 at the same bitrate and are native on Apple devices. OGG Vorbis is open-source and common in games. Opus is the most modern — at 128 kbps it can match or beat MP3 at 192 kbps.
WAV vs FLAC — which lossless should I pick?
WAV if you're feeding the file into a DAW or editor that expects raw PCM (most do). FLAC if you're archiving or sharing — about half the size of WAV with identical audio.
Does this re-encode or just rename the file?
Real server-side re-encode. The output is a properly encoded file in the target format, not just a renamed copy. Bitrate defaults are sensible for music (192 kbps for MP3/M4A/AAC/OGG, 128 kbps for Opus).
How long does conversion take?
Usually under 30 seconds (including cold start). The encoding itself is fast — most of the time is downloading the input and uploading the output.
