Frequently Asked Questions

FLAC files are lossless and large, making them impractical for portable devices with limited storage like smartphones, tablets, and car stereos. Converting FLAC to MP3 reduces file size by 80-90% while maintaining excellent audio quality, allowing you to carry more music.

Yes, MP3 is lossy compression—it discards some audio data. However, starting from FLAC (lossless) ensures the best possible MP3 quality. Using 320kbps or 256kbps settings produces near-transparent results where most listeners can't hear the difference from the original.

For music from CDs or high-quality sources, use 'Best' (320kbps) for maximum quality or 'High' (256kbps) for an excellent balance. These settings preserve most of the FLAC quality. Lower bitrates (192kbps, 128kbps) are suitable when storage space is extremely limited.

FLAC files are typically 30-50MB for a 4-minute song, while MP3 at 320kbps is 10-12MB, 256kbps is 8-10MB, and 192kbps is 6-7MB. You can expect 70-90% file size reduction depending on the quality setting you choose.

Yes! Keep FLAC as your archive/master copies. Use MP3 for portable listening. If you need to convert to a different format later (AAC, OGG), converting from FLAC yields better results than re-encoding from MP3.

FLAC is lossless compression (like a ZIP file for audio)—it preserves 100% of the original data and can be converted back to WAV perfectly. MP3 is lossy—it discards audio information to achieve smaller files. FLAC is for archiving and quality, MP3 is for portability.

Yes, all metadata (artist, album, title, genre, year, album art) from FLAC files is preserved and converted to ID3v2 tags in the MP3 output. Your music library organization remains intact.

Currently, this tool processes one file at a time for optimal browser performance. For batch conversion, process files sequentially. Each conversion maintains your selected quality settings for consistent results.

Not technically—FLAC is bit-perfect lossless while 320kbps MP3 is lossy. However, in blind listening tests, most people cannot distinguish 320kbps MP3 from FLAC on typical consumer equipment. For portable listening, 320kbps MP3 from FLAC is excellent quality.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your FLAC files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
