Why convert this way?
FLAC is lossless but large — great for archiving, not great for a phone with limited storage or a car stereo that only reads MP3. Converting gets you a portable copy without touching your FLAC originals.
How Fyleon does it
Fyleon decodes the FLAC file and encodes a new MP3 at your chosen bitrate, entirely in your browser, leaving your lossless original untouched on your device. For files under 400MB, nothing is uploaded anywhere; the file never leaves your computer. Larger files route through Fyleon's dedicated cloud pipeline, billed against your plan's own monthly quota before any one-time charge applies.
Step-by-step
- Open the Audio Format Switcher tool and sign in (or create a free account — it takes a few seconds).
- Drop your FLAC file onto the upload area, or click to browse for it.
- Choose MP3 as your target format and set a bitrate (128–320kbps).
- Download the converted MP3 directly to your device.
A note on this conversion
This conversion is one-way in terms of quality — once encoded to MP3, the discarded audio data can't be recovered. Keep your FLAC originals if you might need lossless audio again later.
Files processed locally never touch Fyleon's servers, so a file with sensitive or confidential content never leaves your device.
