How to convert FLAC to MP3 — two steps
1
Upload your FLACs
One track or 50 at once
2
Download the MP3s
MP3
converted.mp3
192 kbps · tags intact
Grab it within the hour. Download links expire 60 minutes after conversion. FLAC is already compressed, so the drop is smaller than people expect: figure on roughly a quarter of the FLAC's size rather than a tenth.
Why a paid converter is the one worth using
Free audio converters pay their server bill with ads, size caps and daily limits — and plenty of them strip your tags and encode at 128 kbps. FLAC to MP3 Cyborg is funded by you, so it works for you.
A whole album in one pass
Queue 50 tracks at once instead of feeding them in one at a time and waiting between each.
Anonymous & private
Your library is your business. We don't track who converts what, and files are never handed to third parties.
Tags survive the trip
Title, artist and album come across into the MP3. A converter that drops them turns a sorted library into a folder of “Track 01”, and plenty of them do.

How €1 compares to “free”
| FLAC to MP3 Cyborg | Free online converter | Desktop app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Files per batch | 50 | 1–2 | Many |
| File size cap | 200 MB per file | Capped, often 20–100 MB | None |
| Output bitrate | 192 kbps | Often 128 kbps | You choose |
| Nothing to install | Desktop app | ||
| Ad-free & untracked | Ad-funded | ||
| Price | from €1 | Free (ad-funded) | €20–60 |
Free FLAC-to-MP3 tools exist because ads pay for them — and they still cap your upload size, throttle you after a couple of files a day, strip your tags, or encode at 128 kbps without telling you. FLAC to MP3 Cyborg starts at €1 for a day, installs nothing, takes 50 files at a time at up to 200 MB each, and encodes every one at 192 kbps with the tags intact.
What you gain, and what you give up
Straight answer: FLAC is lossless and MP3 is not, so this conversion permanently discards some of the audio. At 192 kbps most people cannot hear the difference on most material — and in exchange the file plays in all the places that quietly refuse FLAC.

Apple actually plays it
iOSThe Apple Music app and iTunes have never supported FLAC. If your library lives there, converting is not a preference — it is the only way the tracks appear at all.
Car stereos and cheap players
USBPlenty of head units read MP3 off a USB stick and skip every FLAC on it without saying why.
Tags come with it
ID3Title, artist and album are carried into the MP3, so a converted album still sorts correctly instead of arriving as unnamed tracks.
Smaller, but not tenfold
1/4FLAC is already compressed, so the saving is smaller than converting from WAV. Expect about a quarter of the original, not a tenth.
One encode, never two
1×Your FLAC is decoded once and encoded once. Nothing passes through a second lossy stage, which is where audible damage usually comes from.
The honest caveat
Keep your FLACs. They are your lossless copies, and an MP3 cannot be turned back into one — converting the MP3 to FLAC later just makes a large file that still sounds like the MP3.
Want uncompressed audio instead? MP3 to WAV Cyborg produces PCM WAV.

When FLAC gets you nowhere
FLAC is the right format to store music in and the wrong one to carry it around in. Here is where converting saves the afternoon:
R
Loading a phone or an old iPod
MP3 is the one audio format you can assume works. FLAC support on portable devices is still hit and miss.
P
Car stereos from a USB stick
Many head units silently skip FLAC files. The same album as MP3 plays without a fight.
F
Freeing up phone storage
A FLAC album is a few hundred megabytes. The MP3 version is a quarter of that, which adds up fast across a library.
T
Sending music to someone
MP3 is what the person on the other end can definitely open, whatever they are using.
S
Uploading to a service
Plenty of upload forms and platforms accept MP3 and nothing else, or re-encode whatever else you give them.
Whatever the destination, upload your FLACs and get tagged MP3s back.
Different format — or a different job?
Looking for the MP3 downloader rather than a converter? That's MP3 Cyborg. Starting from another format? WAV to MP3, OGG to MP3 or M4A to MP3. Need uncompressed audio? MP3 to WAV. Pulling audio out of a video? Extract Audio — all included in one account.
Common questions
Getting started
What is FLAC to MP3 Cyborg?
A web app that turns FLAC files into 192 kbps MP3s with their tags intact. Upload up to 50 tracks and download files about a quarter the size that play on phones, car stereos and Apple apps that refuse FLAC — nothing to install.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on all Android phones, and on iOS 12 and higher. Conversion happens on our servers, so a phone finishes as fast as a desktop — you only need a browser.
How do I convert FLAC to MP3?
Two steps. Drag your FLAC files onto the uploader at the top of this page — one track or a whole album, up to 50 at a time — then download the results individually or as a single ZIP. There is nothing to install and no settings to choose; every file comes back at 192 kbps with its tags.
Quality, size & batches
Will I lose quality?
Some, yes. FLAC is lossless and MP3 is not, so the encoder permanently discards audio it judges you will not hear — that is what makes the file smaller. At 192 kbps that trade is inaudible to most people on most material, but it is a trade, and it cannot be undone afterwards.
How much smaller will the file be?
About a quarter. Less than people expect, because FLAC is already compressed — it is typically around 60% of the WAV it came from, and the 192 kbps MP3 is roughly a quarter of that FLAC. A CD-length album usually goes from a few hundred megabytes to under a hundred.
How many files can I convert at once?
Up to 50 per batch. Filenames are preserved, and you can download the results individually or as a single ZIP.
Is there a file size limit?
200 MB per file, which covers even long hi-res tracks comfortably. If you are converting a boxed set, send it in batches of 50 files.
Do my title, artist and album tags survive?
Yes. FLAC stores tags as Vorbis comments and MP3 uses ID3, and the conversion carries title, artist and album across. That matters more than it sounds: a converter that drops them turns a sorted album into a folder of untitled tracks, and plenty of free tools do exactly that.
What happens to 24-bit or 96 kHz hi-res FLAC?
It converts fine, with two unavoidable changes. MP3 is always 16-bit equivalent, so 24-bit depth is not carried across, and anything above 48 kHz is resampled down because MPEG-1 Layer III cannot store a higher rate. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz files keep their rate exactly.
Why won't Apple Music play my FLAC files?
Because Apple has never supported the format — not in iTunes, not in the Music app, not on iOS. Apple's own lossless format is ALAC. Converting to MP3 is the usual way round it, and unlike ALAC it also plays on everything else you own.
Pricing, privacy & limits
How much does it cost?
A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited conversions. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT). Every plan unlocks all 79 AppsCyborg tools, not just this one.
How long does my download link stay valid?
60 minutes. After that the link expires and the converted files are removed — just re-run the conversion if you need them again.
Do you track or keep my files?
No. We don't run ad or analytics tracking on what you convert, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing. Uploaded audio is processed only to build your MP3s and is removed once the 60-minute download window closes.
Is there a limit on how often I can convert?
No. While your day pass, yearly or lifetime plan is active you can run as many 50-file batches as you like — there is no monthly quota and no per-conversion charge.
Still have a question?
We usually reply within a day.
Your MP3s are minutes away.
