# FLAC to MP3 Converter

> Convert lossless FLAC audio files to MP3 entirely in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, and no size limits — every file is decoded and re-encoded locally with FFmpeg WebAssembly.

## What this is
A free, private, browser-based tool that converts lossless FLAC audio files into MP3.
All processing happens locally in the browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.
No files are uploaded, no account is required, and there is no fixed size limit.

## Supported MP3 bitrates
- 320 kbps — Highest quality — best for archiving and critical listening.
- 256 kbps — High quality — transparent for most listeners.
- 192 kbps — Balanced quality and file size.
- 128 kbps — Smallest files — good for voice or low bandwidth.

## FAQ
### Is FLAC to MP3 conversion really private?
Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your audio files are never uploaded to a server — they are decoded and re-encoded locally on your own device, so nothing leaves your computer.

### What bitrate should I choose when converting FLAC to MP3?
320 kbps gives the highest MP3 quality and is the best choice for archiving or critical listening. 256 kbps and 192 kbps are transparent for most listeners, while 128 kbps produces the smallest files for voice or low-bandwidth use.

### Will converting FLAC to MP3 reduce audio quality?
FLAC is lossless and MP3 is lossy, so some data is discarded during encoding. At 256–320 kbps the difference is inaudible to most listeners, but the original FLAC will always be the highest-fidelity copy. Keep your FLAC files if you need a lossless master.

### Is there a file size or batch limit?
There is no fixed size limit because processing happens on your device rather than a server. You can queue and convert many FLAC files in a single batch; the practical limit is your device's available memory.

### Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. The converter is a free web app that requires no sign-up, no installation, and no browser extensions. Open the page, drop in your FLAC files, and download MP3s.

## Boundaries
- Conversion is client-side, read-only from the server's perspective, and stores nothing.
- No personal data, audio, or secrets are transmitted or logged.
