How to compress audio

1

Add your audio

Drop up to 10 MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG files, or a video to use only its sound.

2

Choose the kind of sound

Voice gives the smallest files for speech. Music keeps more detail.

3

Compress and download

See how much smaller each file got, then download them, or all as one ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is my audio uploaded?

No. It is compressed by your browser, so the file stays on your device.

How much smaller will it get?

A WAV file often shrinks by 80 to 90 percent when saved as MP3. An MP3 that is already small shrinks less, and the result can even be larger, which the tool tells you.

Which setting is best for a voice note or lecture?

Voice. It makes the audio mono and lowers the sample rate, which suits speech and gives the smallest file.

Will it lose quality?

Yes, a little. MP3, M4A and OGG are lossy formats that discard sound you are unlikely to hear. Keep the original if you may need the best quality later.

Which format should I choose?

MP3 works almost everywhere. M4A (AAC) is usually a bit smaller at the same quality and works on Apple devices and most phones.
