Will I lose audio quality converting from FLAC?

Yes, some — FLAC is lossless and MP3 isn't. At 192kbps the difference is very hard to hear for most listening, but it's a real, honest tradeoff, not a lossless copy.

Why convert a lossless file to a lossy one at all?

Mainly compatibility and size — MP3 plays everywhere and the file is a fraction of the FLAC's size, which matters for storage or sharing.

Where does the conversion actually happen?

Your FLAC file is decoded and re-encoded entirely in server memory, then deleted immediately after download.

.flac · max 30 MB

FloxerFile converts lossless FLAC audio into compressed MP3 files directly on our servers, at a 192kbps bitrate. Useful when you need a much smaller file for a device or app that doesn't support FLAC. No software to install, no data stored after conversion.

How it works

1
Upload your FLAC file
Drag and drop your .flac file into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 30 MB are supported.
2
Convert
Click Convert to MP3. The conversion runs on our servers and completes in seconds.
3
Download your MP3
Download the MP3 directly to your device. Your file is never stored — it is deleted immediately after conversion.

Features

High-quality 192kbps encoding
Encoded at 192kbps, high enough that the lossy conversion is very hard to distinguish from the FLAC source for most listening.
Honest lossless-to-lossy conversion
FLAC is lossless; MP3 isn't. This is a real quality tradeoff made for compatibility and much smaller files, not a lossless re-wrap pretending otherwise.
Universal playback
MP3 plays on essentially every device and app, unlike FLAC, which some platforms and older hardware still don't support.
No leftover FLAC metadata
ID3 tags are stripped during encoding, avoiding leftover FLAC metadata fields that don't map correctly to MP3.

Supported formats
