MP3 to FLAC

About MP3

Lossy

MPEG-1 Audio Layer III

The universal audio format

MP3 is the most widely supported compressed audio format. It removes sounds the ear barely notices, shrinking music to about a tenth of its CD size.

Strengths
Plays on virtually every device, app and car stereo. Small files with good quality at 192–320 kbps.
Limitations
Lossy: some detail is lost with every encode. Less efficient than AAC or Opus at low bitrates.

About FLAC

Lossless

Free Lossless Audio Codec

Lossless compression for music lovers

FLAC compresses audio without discarding anything: once decoded, it is bit-for-bit identical to the original, yet takes roughly half the space of WAV.

Strengths
No quality loss, 40–60% smaller than WAV, rich tags and cover art, open and royalty-free.
Limitations
Still much larger than MP3, and not supported by some older devices or by iTunes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert MP3 to FLAC?

Add your MP3 files to the converter above. FLAC is already selected as the output, so conversion starts right away. When a file is ready, click Download, or use Download all to get a ZIP.

Will converting MP3 to FLAC reduce the sound quality?

Nothing more is lost: FLAC stores the decoded MP3 audio exactly. It cannot restore detail that the MP3 compression already removed, though — the file gets bigger, not better. Convert to FLAC when software requires it or for editing.

Which settings should I use for FLAC?

16-bit keeps CD-quality sources exactly; use 24-bit for high-resolution recordings. FLAC is lossless at any setting, so there is no bitrate to choose.

Are my MP3 files uploaded anywhere?

No. The MP3 to FLAC conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a server, so even private recordings stay on your device.

Can I convert several MP3 files to FLAC at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 files; they are converted one after another, and you can download each FLAC file separately or all of them together as a ZIP archive.
