When to use this

A client wants a quick listen on their phone, a WAV is too big for email, or a platform only takes MP3. Convert the bounce to a 320 kbps MP3 and keep the WAV for the final delivery.

Which bitrate

  • 320 kbps: reference mixes, promos, anything someone will judge.
  • 192 to 256 kbps: demos and rough drafts.
  • 128 kbps: only when size matters more than sound.

Private by design

The WAV is decoded and encoded inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so unreleased mixes never touch a server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert WAV to MP3?
Drop the WAV into the converter above, choose a bitrate, and press Download when it finishes. 320 kbps is the highest MP3 quality. The MP3 keeps the same sample rate as the WAV unless you pick a different one.
What bitrate should I use for an MP3?
Use 320 kbps for anything a client or listener will judge, like reference mixes and promo copies. 192 kbps is fine for rough demos. Use 128 kbps only when file size matters more than sound.
How much smaller is an MP3 than a WAV?
A 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo WAV runs at 1,411 kbps. A 320 kbps MP3 is about 4.4 times smaller, so a 4-minute song drops from roughly 42 MB to about 9.6 MB.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The converter decodes and encodes the audio inside your browser. The file never leaves your device, so unreleased music stays private.
