How do I convert WMA to MP3?
WMA is Microsoft's older audio format and it frequently will not play outside Windows, on iPhones, Macs, or many car stereos. Converting to MP3 turns those stranded files into audio that works almost everywhere.
Your MP3 is ready
Download MP3
Upload your WMA file and choose MP3 as the output, then download the result. WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MP3 are both lossy formats, so the conversion will not improve quality, but MP3 plays on Macs, phones, and players that often reject Microsoft's WMA format.
How it works
1
Upload your WMA file
Select or drag in the Windows Media Audio file you want to convert.
2
Choose MP3 as the output
Set MP3 as the target format so the file plays across every device.
3
Download your MP3
Run the conversion and save the MP3 to play or share anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Both WMA and MP3 are lossy, so the audio is re-encoded from already compressed data. You will not gain quality, and there is a small additional loss, though at a reasonable bitrate it is hard to hear.
WMA is a Microsoft format with limited support outside Windows. iPhones, Macs, and many players do not include a WMA decoder, which is the main reason to convert to MP3.
At similar quality the sizes are usually close. WMA and MP3 compress at broadly comparable efficiency, so expect a file of roughly the same size, not a dramatic change.
Yes. Standard WMA audio files convert normally. Only tracks locked with old DRM protection cannot be converted, but ordinary ripped or downloaded WMA files work fine.
No. The conversion runs online with no software to install and no signup, and your file is deleted after processing.
