Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller will my MP3 be compared to the WAV?
At 192 kbps, an MP3 is typically 10–15x smaller than an equivalent WAV file. A 50 MB WAV becomes roughly 3–5 MB as MP3.
Will I hear a difference between WAV and MP3?
At 192 kbps or higher, most listeners cannot distinguish MP3 from WAV in a blind listening test. For professional archival work, keep the WAV master and share the MP3.
Which MP3 bitrate do you use?
We encode at 192 kbps — the widely accepted sweet spot for sharing and publishing audio online.
Can I convert a studio recording WAV to MP3?
Yes. Upload your WAV file, confirm authorization, and convert. We recommend keeping your original WAV as a master before distributing as MP3.
Is my audio file private?
Yes. Files are automatically deleted within 60 minutes. We do not store, share, or analyse your audio.
