Compress an uncompressed WAV recording down to a 320 kbps MP3 that takes a fraction of the space and plays everywhere. Ideal for moving studio recordings, podcast masters, or sample exports onto phones and shareable platforms.
WAV to MP3 makes bulky studio audio practical to share and stream. A few minutes of uncompressed WAV can run to tens of megabytes; encoding to 320 kbps MP3 shrinks it dramatically while staying transparent to most ears — perfect for podcasts, music downloads, and anything bound for the web or a phone.
Convert here when the recording is finished and needs to travel: uploading an episode, emailing a mix, or loading tracks onto a device with limited storage. You trade a sliver of fidelity most listeners never notice for a file a fraction of the size.
WAV is uncompressed PCM audio — the same lossless signal a CD or studio session uses. A three-minute WAV is roughly 30 MB versus 7 MB for MP3, but every sample is preserved. Use WAV when you plan to edit, master, sample, or archive the audio and need zero generation loss.
MP3 is the most compatible audio format ever made. It plays on every device built in the last 25 years, from a $5 Bluetooth speaker to a Tesla, and 320 kbps MP3 is sonically indistinguishable from CD for most listeners. Pick MP3 when you want a file that will simply play, everywhere, without anyone asking what a codec is.
Drop a WAV file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the WAV you want to convert.
The output is pre-set to MP3.
Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the WAV, scan it for malware (video and audio over 1 GB are not scanned), and run the WAV → MP3 pipeline.
A download link appears as soon as the MP3 is ready; it works for anyone who has it until the file is deleted. The file is deleted from our storage two hours after it was made (longer for very large files or with a pass), normally within the next 15 minutes.
