A shareable copy of a FLAC master
FLAC is useful when you want a lossless source. For quick sharing or an MP3-only player, this converter makes a separate MP3 copy while leaving the FLAC file intact.
FLAC to MP3 Converter
Make a smaller MP3 copy of a FLAC recording. Upload FLAC, choose an MP3 bitrate, listen to the output, and download without using credits.

FLAC
Up to 25 MB · 10 minutes · mono or stereo
Your file uploads only when you start. Files are available for 24 hours, then scheduled for deletion. Existing upload limits apply.
Make it yours
Keep the lossless FLAC as your master. The MP3 copy is easier to share but cannot retain every detail of the source.
Make an MP3 listening copy while keeping your FLAC master
Use FLAC for the lossless source and MP3 when a player or sharing workflow needs it. Keep both files if you may edit or archive the recording later.
- 01
Choose a bitrate
192 kbps is the default; options range from 64 to 320 kbps. Lower bitrate reduces the encoded data rate, while higher bitrate increases size. Compare the result rather than assuming a universal quality setting.
- 02
Preserve the sound layout
Keep original channels for stereo music. Mono combines channels and changes the listening layout.
- 03
Check file size and audible detail
Listen to quiet passages, cymbals and sustained notes before sharing. The output size is shown after processing; tags and cover art are not preserved.
If the result is not what you expected
- The MP3 is no longer lossless
- MP3 is lossy even at 320 kbps. Keep the FLAC master for future editing or archiving.
- The FLAC exceeds the limit
- This is a single-file converter with a ten-minute duration cap and separate upload quotas. Split a copy into sections if that suits your task; batch conversion is not offered here.
Three simple steps
- 01
Choose an audio file, or a video for Video to MP3.
- 02
Choose your settings and start. You will see the upload, queue and processing status.
- 03
Listen, download, or use the result in another EZAudio tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is the MP3 output still lossless?
No. FLAC preserves the source audio losslessly; MP3 uses lossy compression. Choose a bitrate that fits your use and keep the original FLAC for archiving or further editing.
Which formats and limits apply?
Audio input: MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC and OGG. Video to MP3 accepts MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM with an audio track. Guests: 25 MB; signed-in users: 100 MB. Up to 10 minutes, mono or stereo. Audio outputs are MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG; extraction and compression export MP3. OGG uses Opus at 48 kHz; other outputs use 44.1 kHz and does not preserve tags or artwork.
Where are my files processed?
These tools upload files for server processing. Files expire after 24 hours and are then scheduled for cleanup. Continue Editing remembers files in this browser tab until refresh. Processing does not use your credits.
Size versus sound detail
The default MP3 bitrate is 192 kbps, and you can adjust it before starting. Lower bitrates may make the file smaller at the cost of audible detail. Large FLAC files still have the same upload and ten-minute limits.
How this tool works
- Best used for
- Convert a FLAC file to MP3 with the output format preset.
- Processing method
- Uses the shared server Audio Converter; only the input and output format are specialized.
- What you get
- MP3 audio.
- Before you rely on the result
- FLAC is lossless; conversion to MP3 trades audio detail for file size and compatibility.
Usage and file handling
Server processing uses no credits and has separate quotas: up to 10 minutes per file, 25 MiB for guests or 100 MiB when signed in. Uploading is required.
