The Audio Converter changes an audio file into another audio format, such as FLAC to MP3 or WAV to AAC. This doc shows how to upload a file, choose the output settings, and download the converted file.


Upload your audio file

To open the Audio Converter and add a file:

  1. In the left menu of the dashboard, click Apps.

  2. Under Tools, click Audio Converter.

  3. Click Upload a file and select an audio file, or drag and drop the file onto the page.

Note: You can upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, WMA, AAC, and M4A files. To get the sound from a video file, use the Video Converter instead.

💡 Tip: To pick a different file, click Replace File.

Choose the output settings

To set how the converted file is made:

  1. In Convert to..., choose the output format: MP3, WAV, FLAC, WMA, AAC, or M4A.

  2. In Audio Bitrate, choose a value from 64 kbps to 320 kbps, or leave it on Auto.

  3. In Sample Rate, choose a value from 8000 Hz to 48000 Hz, or leave it on Auto.

Choosing 128 kbps and 48000 Hz, then choosing WAV, which resets the bitrate and sample rate to Auto

The settings also have:

  • Audio Bitrate: A lower bitrate makes a smaller file. A higher bitrate keeps more detail, which helps for music.

  • Sample Rate: How many times per second the sound is sampled. A higher rate keeps more detail.

Note: Choose the format first. When you change the format, Audio Bitrate and Sample Rate go back to Auto.

Note: Some bitrate and sample rate options are grayed out for some formats. Choose another value or format.

Convert and download

To get the converted file:

  1. Click Convert. The file is converted in a short while.

  2. When Download for free! appears, click Download to save the file to your device.

💡 Tip: To convert another file, click Convert another audio.
