About the MP3 to AAC Converter
AAC fits more quality into the same bitrate than MP3, which is why it is what Apple Music, YouTube and most streaming services use.
Converting an MP3 to AAC cannot restore what the MP3 discarded. It is worth doing for compatibility or for a smaller file, not for quality.
Questions people ask
What actually does the work?
FFmpeg, the same open-source toolchain most video software is built on. It runs as a separate process with a fixed argument list, a time limit and no network access. Nothing from your filename or your settings is ever passed to a shell.
Why does this one take longer than the other tools?
Media work is genuinely expensive: a re-encode reads and writes every frame. The job is queued so that a busy moment slows things down rather than taking the site out, and the page shows where your job is in that queue.
What happens to the file I upload?
It is stored under a random name that is not guessable, processed by an isolated worker, and deleted as soon as you download the result - and in any case automatically after 60 minutes. Uploads are never indexed, shared or used for anything besides producing your result.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it is free, and there is no account, no sign-up and no watermark on the result. The project is funded by optional donations.
