Audio Compressor

Make an audio file much smaller for sharing or upload. No account, no ad.

The download link expires 1 hour after you download. Nothing is added to your file.

Drop an audio file (WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, MP3 and 9 more, up to 100 MB) and get a smaller MP3. A 3-minute 31.8 MB WAV became a 2.2 MB MP3 on Balanced (96 kbps). The MP3 never uses more bits than your file had. No account, no ad.

Why use Audio Compressor?

  • Picked for what you recorded

    Smaller file is 64 kbps mono, plenty for voice. Balanced is 96 kbps for podcasts. Best quality is 128 kbps for music.

  • Never padded

    If your file already uses fewer bits than the setting, we keep its bitrate instead of inflating it.

  • Then get the words

    Turn the same audio into a transcript in one click. The first 30 minutes are free without an account.

Frequently asked questions

Drop it here, pick Smaller file, Balanced or Best quality, and press Compress audio. Then download the MP3.

Smaller file. 64 kbps mono keeps speech clear and makes the smallest file, which also uploads fastest.

Yes, but if it already uses fewer bits than the setting, the result stays close to its size. We never raise the bitrate above your file's.

MP3 plays on every phone, computer and car, and it is what most upload forms accept.

You can download the converted file until one hour after your first download, or for 24 hours if you never download it. After that the link stops working and the job is removed. Nothing is added to your file or its name.
