FLAC (.flac) · Max 20 MB

YouTube accepts most audio formats inside video containers. If you're editing in Premiere, DaVinci, or Final Cut, MP3 imports without hassle.

YouTube will re-encode your audio regardless. Starting from a 256kbps or higher MP3 source gives YouTube's encoder enough headroom to produce clean output.

Background music, voiceovers, sound effects. Convert each to MP3, import into your video editor, and export. AudioUtils makes the conversion step painless.

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.
