This FLAC to MP3 converter takes tracks out of a lossless library and makes portable, shareable MP3 copies at the bitrate you choose — right in your browser, no upload.
FLAC stays the master. The MP3 is the copy for the car head unit, the phone with no space, or the friend who does not know what FLAC is.

Lossless Library, Portable Copies
FLAC is the archivist's format: every sample of the original recording, compressed losslessly, typically to about half the size of WAV. It is what a serious music library runs on — and it is also a format that car stereos, older phones, streaming-friendly workflows and half the world's software ignore. The healthy setup is FLAC masters plus MP3 copies for everything that moves, and that is exactly what this tool produces.
Because the source is lossless, the MP3 encoder gets the best possible input — no generational loss before your bitrate choice even starts. At 320 kbps, the result is transparent for virtually every listener and system; at 192 kbps it remains so for most. The size math is satisfying: a 30 MB FLAC track becomes roughly a 7 MB MP3 at 192 kbps or 11–12 MB at 320, with the fidelity difference between those two settings inaudible in a car or on earbuds.
Keep the FLAC. That bears repeating not as dogma but because the most common regret in audio library management is deleting a lossless file after converting it. The MP3 discards data permanently — fine for listening, fatal for re-editing, re-mastering or future formats. This tool never touches your original; it reads it and writes a separate MP3.
The whole job runs locally: your browser decodes the FLAC, encodes the MP3 (using a built-in encoder if the browser has none) and hands you the file. No upload of a 30 MB track, no account, no watermark, no limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
320 kbps for the best possible MP3, 192 kbps for everyday listening. The lossless source deserves the headroom if you can spare the space.
At 320 kbps, virtually nobody on normal equipment. At 192 kbps, most listeners still will not. Dedicated listening on high-end gear is where FLAC keeps its edge.
No — keep it as your master. The MP3 cannot be turned back into lossless audio, and FLAC is what protects your library for the future.
FLAC support grew late in car stereos, older phones and many apps. MP3 remains the only truly universal audio format.
One file at a time here — for album-sized batches, run the tracks through in sequence; there is no usage limit.
No — decoding and encoding run in your browser, and the MP3 downloads from your device.
