MP3 (.mp3) · Max 20 MB
Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo all cap attachments at 25MB. A long MP3 file can exceed that easily. Converting to AAC at 128kbps keeps file sizes well under the limit.
For voice recordings and meetings, 128kbps mono is plenty. For music, 192kbps stereo sounds great and stays small. AudioUtils converts in your browser — no upload needed, no file touching anyone's server.
Drop your file, convert, download, attach. The whole process takes seconds. No signup, no email address required, no watermarks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting MP3 to AAC improve quality?
No — you can't improve quality by converting between lossy formats. The benefit comes from using AAC as your target format from the start, where it outperforms MP3.
Where is AAC used?
YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and most streaming platforms use AAC. It's also the default codec for iPhone, iPad, and modern Android devices.
What's the difference between AAC and M4A?
AAC is the codec (compression algorithm). M4A is the file container that typically holds AAC audio. They're closely related.
Should I switch from MP3 to AAC?
For new audio, yes — AAC is better. For existing MP3 libraries, the quality gain from transcoding is minimal and may introduce artifacts.
