WAV to MP3 FAQ
Will MP3 sound exactly like the WAV?
MP3 is a lossy format, so the encoded result may differ from the original WAV. Keep the source if you need an uncompressed master.
Does the converter upload my audio?
No. Audio processing happens in your browser. The conversion engine itself loads from a CDN.
