How this works
Your browser decodes the WAV file using its own built-in audio engine, then encodes the decoded audio as a real MP3 file using a genuine MP3 encoder running entirely in your browser — no audio is uploaded, and no server-side conversion is involved.
Common use cases
- Shrink a large WAV recording into a smaller MP3
- Convert a WAV export into a widely compatible format
- Prepare a WAV file for a device or app that expects MP3
Frequently asked questions
Is this WAV to MP3 converter free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.
What bitrate should I choose?
128 kbps is a good default for most uses. Choose 192 or 320 kbps for higher quality, or 96 kbps for a smaller file.
Will the MP3 sound different from the original WAV?
MP3 is a lossy format, so there is some quality loss compared to uncompressed WAV, though it's generally not very noticeable at 128 kbps or higher.
Is this a real MP3 file?
Yes. It's encoded with a genuine MP3 encoder, not renamed or repackaged audio, so it plays correctly in any MP3-compatible app or device.
