How to convert FLAC files to MP3
FLAC audio files are generally associated with a high level of listening quality. At the same time, it can be hard to find a use for them with the dominance of the MP3 file format. If you find yourself needing to convert an MP3 file to FLAC — and vice versa — this is how.
QUICK ANSWER
To convert a FLAC file to an MP3, you will want to use a dedicated audio file conversion site like cloudconvert.
How to convert FLAC to MP3
Let’s get this out of the way first: there’s no fancy way to convert MP3 and FLAC file types using a trick built into Windows. There isn’t a dedicated program hidden within your desktop that will automatically translate two separate audio codecs.
As such, your only option is to use a file conversion website like cloudconvert.
- Go to cloudconvert.com/flac-to-mp3.
- Click the Select File button and upload the FLAC file from your computer.
- You can use the OPTIONS section to tweak the final result.
- After uploading your file, allow the site to finish converting it to an MP3.
- Download the MP3 version of your original FLAC file.
