Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller is the MP3 compared to the WAV file?
Uncompressed 16-bit 44.1 kHz WAV files typically shrink by 85% to 90% when converted to 192 kbps MP3.
Is the audio quality degraded when converting to MP3?
MP3 uses perceptual psychoacoustic compression that discards imperceptible frequencies while retaining rich, clear acoustic detail for speech and music.
Does the conversion upload my audio recordings anywhere?
No. Decoding and encoding are processed locally in your browser using Web Audio and lamejs.
What sample rates are supported?
Standard audio sample rates including 44.1 kHz (CD quality) and 48 kHz (studio video sound) are supported natively.
