What changes in this conversion
- MP3 uses lossy compression, so some audio detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file.
- MP3 opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original AIF.
How to use
-
Add your AIF file
Drag the AIF file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
Confirm MP3 as the output
MP3 is already selected as the output format on this page. You can pick the bitrate — higher keeps more of the sound, lower makes a smaller file.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Audio decodes and re-encodes in your browser — a normal song finishes in a few seconds.
-
Download the MP3 file
When it finishes, download the MP3 file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting AIF to MP3 really free?
Yes. AIF to MP3 conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my AIF files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the AIF file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Does converting AIF to MP3 reduce quality?
MP3 uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible, and the file becomes far smaller.
Is there a file size limit for AIF to MP3 conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
