How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a AIFF from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your MP3 the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

Why convert AIFF → MP3

What this conversion is actually for

AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio: huge files coming out of Logic, GarageBand, Pro Tools sessions, or CD rips on a Mac. MP3 at VBR ~190kbps cuts size roughly 10x with no perceptible quality loss, which is what you want for sharing or upload.

A real example

Your friend airdropped you a 60 MB AIFF mix. Convert to MP3 here, it becomes ~6 MB, fits in any email or messaging app.

Troubleshooting

Multichannel AIFF gets downmixed.

MP3 supports stereo cleanly but is awkward with 5.1 or higher. The default re-encode preserves stereo. For surround masters, keep the AIFF or convert to a format that supports the channel count.

About AIFF and MP3

AIFF, AIFF

AIFF is a file format we support converting. Detailed format information is being added, for now, drop your file in the converter above and you'll get the conversion you came for.

How to open

Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.

MP3, MPEG Audio Layer III

MP3 is the most widely-supported audio format ever, every device, app, and music player on the planet reads it. It uses lossy compression (typically removing audio frequencies humans can't hear well) to shrink files to about a tenth of their uncompressed size. At 192 kbps and above, the difference vs lossless is inaudible to most listeners on most equipment.

How to open

Every audio player ever made. iOS Music, Android, VLC, iTunes, Windows Media Player, browsers, smart speakers, universal.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this AIFF → MP3 converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert AIFF to MP3?

File interchange. Music files, podcasts, audiobooks, voice recordings. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, MP3 works in places where AIFF doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a AIFF file in the first place?

Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
