WAV to MP3 Converter
WAV files are uncompressed and large. Converting to MP3 makes them small enough to email, upload or keep on your phone, while still sounding great at 192 kbps or more.
How to convert WAV to MP3
- 1Click “Choose audio file” or drag a WAV file onto the page.
- 2MP3 is already selected. Pick a quality: 192 kbps is a good default.
- 3Click “Convert to MP3” and download your file.
How much smaller?
A minute of CD-quality WAV is about 10 MB. The same minute as a 192 kbps MP3 is about 1.4 MB, roughly 7 times smaller; at 128 kbps it's about 10 times smaller.
Keep the WAV for editing
MP3 is lossy: some detail is removed to save space. Keep your original WAV if you might edit or master the audio later, and share the MP3.

- Browsers don't include an MP3 encoder, so a small one is downloaded the first time.
