FLAC (.flac) · Max 20 MB
Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support MP3. It's the safe choice for distribution.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What MP3 bitrate should I use for FLAC conversion?
320kbps for the best quality, 256kbps for a great balance, 192kbps if storage is tight. Avoid going below 192kbps — the quality drop becomes noticeable.
How much smaller will the MP3 be?
Dramatically smaller. A 30MB FLAC file becomes roughly 5-7MB as MP3 at 320kbps. That's a 75-80% size reduction.
Will the conversion preserve metadata?
The converter preserves basic metadata like title, artist, and album when possible. Cover art may not transfer in all cases.
Can I batch convert multiple FLAC files?
Free users can convert one file at a time. Pro users get batch conversion support for processing entire albums or libraries at once.
