Compress an audio file

Shrink a podcast, voice memo or song by lowering its bitrate. 64 kbps is fine for speech; 128 kbps keeps music sounding good at half the size of a 256 kbps file.

Audio size is bitrate times length. A 60-minute recording at 320 kbps is about 140 MB; the same recording at 64 kbps is 28 MB and still perfectly clear for speech. This page presets MP3 at 64 kbps; raise it to 96 or 128 kbps for music.

How to compress an MP3

Drop the audio file. MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or FLAC.
Pick the bitrate. 64 kbps for speech, 96 to 128 kbps for music. The estimated size updates as you choose.
Convert and download. Encoded on your device with the built-in MP3 encoder.

Questions people ask

How much smaller will it get?

Proportionally to the bitrate change. Going from 320 to 64 kbps makes the file five times smaller.

Will it sound worse?

Speech at 64 kbps is clear. Music starts to lose sparkle below 128 kbps. Try 96 kbps as a compromise.

Can I compress a WAV?

Yes. WAV to MP3 at 128 kbps is roughly an eleven-fold reduction with no audible loss for most listeners.
