Frequently Asked Questions
What bitrate should I use for MP3?
192 kbps is an excellent default that most listeners cannot distinguish from the original. Choose 256 or 320 kbps for archiving or critical listening, or 128 kbps when you want the smallest file.
Is WAV to MP3 conversion lossy?
Yes. MP3 is a lossy codec: it discards inaudible audio detail to shrink the file. Converting an already-lossy MP3 to another MP3 would lose more quality, so convert from WAV for the best result.
Do I need to upload my WAV?
No. The WAV is decoded and the MP3 is encoded entirely on your device using Web Audio and a local WASM MP3 encoder.
