  • 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. All conversion happens 100% in your browser using the Web Audio API and lamejs encoder. Your file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What bitrate should I choose?

320 kbps offers near-lossless quality for audiophiles. 192 kbps is the sweet spot for most music. 128 kbps is sufficient for podcasts and voice recordings. Higher bitrates produce larger files.

Why are MP3 files smaller than WAV?

MP3 uses lossy compression to discard audio data that is less perceptible to human ears. WAV stores raw uncompressed PCM data. A typical WAV is about 10x the size of a 192 kbps MP3.

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.
