Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to convert MP3 to FLAC here?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to a server, so nothing can leak, be stored or be seen by anyone. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

How long does MP3 to FLAC conversion take?

Audio converts at roughly 20–50× real time, so a 5-minute song takes about 10 seconds after the one-time engine download.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no server-side limit because there is no server. The practical limit is your device memory: browsers can handle files up to about 2 GB. Very large videos work better on a desktop than a phone.

Will the quality drop?

FLAC is lossless, so no quality is lost relative to the source. It cannot recover detail that a lossy source already discarded.

Can I convert several MP3 files at once?

Yes. Drop or select as many files as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
