  • Apple & streaming — M4A / AAC for better quality per kilobyte
  • Archiving — FLAC for lossless quality at half the size of WAV

Frequently asked questions

The short answers — for more detail, every converter page has its own deep-dive FAQ.

Are all mp3.now tools free?
Yes. Every tool on this page works without payment or signup. Guests can convert 10 files per day with files up to 10 MB; a free account lifts that to 20 files per day with files up to 50 MB. Premium adds unlimited conversions, 200 MB uploads, and no ads from $7.99/mo.
Do I need to install anything?
No — every tool runs in the cloud. Conversions run on our servers and uploads are auto-deleted within 24 hours. There is nothing to download, license, or configure.
Which converter tool should I use?
Pick by your source and target format. To shrink a file, use Compress MP3. To change format, find the matching slug like WAV to MP3 or MP3 to WAV — every converter is listed above. For unusual input, the generic MP3 Converter handles any audio or video FFmpeg can read.
What's the difference between converting, compressing, and trimming?
Converting changes the file format (WAV → MP3, M4A → MP3) — useful for compatibility. Compressing keeps the MP3 format but reduces file size by lowering the bitrate. Trimming cuts the audio to a shorter section. The three are independent; the MP3 cutter and bitrate changer handle the last two.
Are my files safe and private?
Uploads travel over HTTPS, sit in isolated per-session folders, and are auto-deleted within 24 hours for guests (7 days for free accounts, 365 days for Premium). We never index, share, or train AI on your uploads.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes — every converter accepts batch uploads of up to 10 files on the free tier. Premium raises this to 50 per batch. Files process in parallel on our workers, so a batch of 10 typically finishes in roughly the same time as a single file.
