Frequently asked questions
Will converting to MP3 lower quality?
MP3 is a lossy format, so it uses compression to shrink file size. For most spoken word and casual listening, the default quality is more than enough.
Can I convert long recordings?
Yes, as long as the file size fits within your browser and connection limits. Longer WAV recordings benefit the most from MP3’s size savings.
How long are my files stored?
Files are kept only long enough to complete the conversion and provide your download link. They are deleted automatically after a short period as described in the Privacy Policy.
