Pro Tips

  • ●320 kbps is the highest offered bitrate, but still lossy. Compare a representative sample and keep the original WAV.
  • ●128 kbps is sufficient for podcasts, voice recordings, and spoken-word content.
  • ●192 kbps offers the best balance between quality and file size for most music.
  • ●A 50 MB WAV file typically compresses to 5-10 MB as MP3 at 192 kbps.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my WAV file uploaded to a server?

No. Web Audio decoding and lamejs encoding run in this browser without uploading the selected file to a conversion server. Normal page resources still load over the network; protect downloaded copies separately.

What bitrate should I choose?

Available settings are 128, 192, 256 and 320 kbps. Lower values use less space; higher values may reduce audible artifacts. Every option is lossy, and the best choice depends on your audio, playback equipment and needs.

Why are MP3 files smaller than WAV?

MP3 uses lossy audio compression. A 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo PCM stream uses 1411.2 kbps, about 7.35 times 192 kbps before small file overhead. Other WAV sample rates, bit depths and channel counts give different ratios.

Can I convert multiple WAV files at once?

Currently this tool processes one file at a time. For batch conversion, you can quickly repeat the process – the lamejs encoder is already loaded and ready.
