How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a WMA 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 WMA → MP3

What this conversion is actually for

Windows Media Audio shows up in old Windows Movie Maker exports, legacy voice recordings, and 2000s-era podcast archives. Almost nothing outside the Microsoft ecosystem plays it any more, so MP3 is the migration target.

A real example

You inherited a folder of family videos with .wma narration tracks from a Windows XP era. Convert each to MP3 so they import cleanly into your modern editor.

Troubleshooting

WMA with DRM fails to convert.

DRM-protected WMA (from Zune Marketplace and old subscription services) cannot be decoded. The file has to be DRM-free first, which is outside what this tool can do.

About WMA and MP3

WMA, WMA

WMA 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 WMA → 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 WMA to MP3?

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

How do I open a WMA 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.
