WAV files sound great but take up a lot of space, which makes them awkward to email, share, or carry on a phone. Converting to MP3 shrinks the file dramatically while keeping it easy to play almost anywhere, and this free wav to mp3 converter does the job in seconds. Your audio is decoded and re-encoded in your browser — it never leaves your device, so nothing is uploaded — and because MP3 is a compressed format, the result is smaller but not lossless.
