The file will be deleted from the server automatically.

More about WAV to MP3
Why convert WAV to MP3
WAV is an uncompressed format, convenient for recording and editing but heavy for storage and sharing. MP3 takes several times less space and plays almost everywhere.
The conversion is useful for sending audio in a messenger, uploading a podcast, saving music to a player or reducing an archive.
How it works
The server runs ffmpeg and encodes the audio to MP3 with LAME. The video track is not used. The result is deleted after download or within an hour.
What to know
MP3 is not lossless, so keep the WAV for further editing. If you need a lossless format for editing, convert MP3 to WAV or work with the original.
Questions and answers
Is quality lost?
MP3 uses lossy compression, but at high quality the difference is usually invisible for listening. Keep the original WAV for archiving.
What are the file limits?
Up to 100 MB and 5 minutes of audio. For longer recordings, use a desktop converter.
Can I choose the bitrate?
The tool uses high-quality LAME encoding. Manual bitrate selection is not available in the current version.
Where is the file processed?
On the server with ffmpeg. The file and result are deleted automatically after download or within an hour.
