About the AMR file format

The guide and converter lists are generated from the live MP3.now catalog, so every conversion shown here is available.
Why AMR files are used
Adaptive Multi-Rate Audio files store digital audio using the .amr extension.
Audio formats differ in compression, quality, metadata, channel support and compatibility with players and editing software.
What to know about AMR
Audio encoding
AMR uses format-specific rules to store or compress sound.
Quality and size
Bit rate, sample rate, bit depth and compression influence both fidelity and file size.
Metadata
Track titles, artists, artwork and other tags may be supported depending on the format.
Compatibility
Support for AMR varies across browsers, devices, editors and media players.
How AMR conversion works
Converting AMR decodes the source audio and encodes it with the destination format's codec and selected quality settings.
Lossy conversion cannot restore detail already removed from the source, so keep the original when quality matters.
mp3.now accepts AMR as input and can also create AMR output.
AMR compatibility and software support
Check that the target player or editing application supports AMR before choosing it for delivery.
MP3 remains a practical fallback when broad playback compatibility is the priority.
