Will I hear a difference after converting FLAC to MP3?

At a high bitrate, most people can't tell on everyday headphones or speakers. MP3 is lossy, though, so keep your FLAC files as the master copy.

Are song titles and artist names kept?

The audio is converted. Tags such as title, artist and album art may not all carry over, so check the result in your music player and re-tag it if needed.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every live tool on JustYourConvert opens and converts your files inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers, and the result is saved straight from your browser.

Is JustYourConvert free?

Yes. Every tool is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Clearly labeled ads keep it that way.

Is there a file size limit?

Only your device's memory. Because the work happens in your browser, very large files can be slow on phones and older computers. Each tool says its practical limit under the drop area.

FLAC to MP3 Converter: what to know

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio without losing anything, so a FLAC file sounds exactly like the original recording at roughly half the size of WAV. It is popular for CD rips and high-resolution downloads. MP3 is lossy and much smaller, and it plays on almost every phone, car stereo and portable player, which FLAC does not.

The tool decodes your FLAC in the browser and encodes it as MP3 with LAME compiled to WebAssembly. Because FLAC is lossless, it is the best possible starting point for an MP3. High-resolution FLAC files with higher sample rates or bit depths are converted to standard MP3 settings, which can't carry that extra resolution. Nothing is uploaded.

At a high bitrate, most listeners won't notice a difference on everyday equipment. Since MP3 is lossy, keep your FLAC files as the master copy and create MP3s for convenience. Metadata such as titles, artists and album art may not all be carried over, so check the result in your music player.
