AAC to MP3 Converter
Convert AAC audio (.aac files and AAC inside M4A or MP4) to MP3 in your browser. Choose the bitrate, keep tags, convert many files at once.
AAC is the audio format of iPhones, YouTube, many Android recorders and streaming downloads, either as a raw .aac file or inside .m4a and .mp4. When a player, car stereo or website only takes MP3, this tool converts AAC to MP3 right in your browser, keeping the title, artist, album and cover art. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use this tool
- Choose one or more .aac, .m4a or .mp4 files.
- Pick the MP3 quality: 192 kbps for music, 128 kbps for speech.
- Optionally switch to mono for voice recordings.
- Press Calculate and download the MP3 files.
Formula
MP3 size (bytes) ≈ bitrate (kbps) × 1000 ÷ 8 × length (s)
Chrome, Edge and Safari decode AAC themselves and LAME writes the MP3, so no download is needed. Firefox on some systems, HE-AAC variants the browser rejects and very long files use the ffmpeg engine instead (about 30 MB, downloaded once). A raw .aac file stores no total length, so its duration is taken from the decoded audio.
Example
A 4-minute song as AAC at 256 kbps is 256,000 ÷ 8 × 240 = 7.68 MB. As MP3 at 192 kbps it becomes 5.76 MB; AAC is more efficient, so use 192–256 kbps MP3 to keep the quality close.
Frequently asked questions
Is AAC better than MP3?
At the same bitrate AAC usually sounds a little better, especially below 128 kbps. MP3 wins on compatibility: almost every device plays it.
What is the difference between .aac and .m4a?
Both hold AAC audio. An .aac file is the bare stream (ADTS) with no tags; .m4a puts the same audio in an MP4 container with tags and cover art. This tool reads both.
Can I convert Apple Music downloads?
No. Downloads from streaming subscriptions are copy-protected and cannot be converted by any honest tool. Purchased iTunes songs (AAC without DRM) convert normally.
