How to convert FLAC to MP3

  1. Add your FLAC files. Drag them onto the box above or click to choose them. You can add several at once.
  2. Check the target is MP3. It is already selected. Adjust the quality under Options if you want.
  3. Click Convert. The conversion runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded to a server.
  4. Download the MP3. When it finishes, click Download on each file.

When you need this

Loading hi-res albums onto a phone, a car stereo or an old MP3 player that does not play FLAC.

FLAC vs MP3

FLAC

Lossless compression: bit-for-bit the same audio as a WAV, in roughly half the space. The standard for archiving CDs and hi-res music.

Best for: archiving, hi-fi listening and keeping a master copy without WAV-sized files.

MP3

The most widely supported audio format. Lossy compression keeps files small — about 1.4 MB per minute at 192 kbps — while sounding transparent to most listeners.

Best for: music libraries, podcasts, phones, car stereos, anything that just needs to play.

Will I lose quality?

MP3 is lossy: it drops information the ear barely notices in exchange for a much smaller file. At 192 kbps most people cannot hear a difference; for music you care about, choose 320 kbps.

Have a link instead of a file?

Paste it into the YouTube to MP3 converter and skip the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert FLAC to MP3?
Drag the FLAC file onto the box above, check the target is MP3 and click Convert. As soon as it finishes a Download button appears. Nothing to install, no account needed.
Is it free to convert FLAC to MP3?
Yes, completely: no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark. Your own browser does the conversion, so it costs us nothing and there is no reason to charge for it.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs inside your browser: the file is read and converted on your device and never leaves it. That is why it is safe for private or work recordings.
Will I lose quality?
MP3 is lossy: it drops information the ear barely notices in exchange for a much smaller file. At 192 kbps most people cannot hear a difference; for music you care about, choose 320 kbps.
Is there a file size limit?
Up to 1 GB per file. The limit is not a business one but the browser’s: all the work happens in its memory, and above that size some browsers close the tab. On a phone, stay well below it.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Add as many FLAC files as you like and they are converted one after another with a single click. Each one can go to a different format.
