Universal playback
MP3 plays on every car stereo, Bluetooth speaker, old MP3 player, and OS released since the late 1990s. AAC, while higher quality, isn't always supported on older hardware.
High-quality encode
We use 320 kbps LAME encoding by default — the highest standard MP3 bitrate, indistinguishable from AAC for almost any listener.
Private & secure
Audio is uploaded over HTTPS, processed in the EU, never shared, and permanently deleted within 1 hour.

How it works

1
Upload your AAC
Drag and drop the .aac file, or click to browse. M4A files (iTunes / Apple Music audio in AAC) work too — try our M4A → MP3 page if you have those.
2
MP3 selected by default
MP3 is pre-selected. You can also export to WAV (lossless), OGG, or FLAC if you need a different format.
3
Download instantly
Your MP3 is ready in seconds. The link is valid for 15 minutes after the conversion completes.

Common questions

Why convert AAC to MP3?

AAC is Apple's default audio format and the standard for iTunes and Apple Music downloads. While AAC actually has better sound quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, MP3 is the universal language of audio — it plays on every car stereo, fitness watch, old iPod, and Windows / Linux system without fuss. If you need maximum compatibility, MP3 is the safer choice.

Will the audio quality drop?

Some quality is always lost when re-encoding between two lossy formats (AAC → MP3). But at 320 kbps MP3 — which is what Formatly uses by default — the difference is inaudible to almost any listener. If you want a lossless copy, convert to WAV or FLAC instead.

What about M4A files?

M4A is essentially AAC audio in an MP4 container — Apple's preferred wrapper. Our M4A → MP3 converter handles it directly, including iTunes and Apple Music files (provided they're not DRM-protected — old Apple Music downloads with DRM can't be converted by any tool).

Is there a file size limit?

Free users can convert AAC files up to 25 MB without an account, or up to 10 conversions per day with a free account. Pro users get 500 MB per file and 3,000 credits a month. Business users get up to 5 GB.
