Record from your microphone and save it as an MP3 that plays on any phone, computer, car stereo, or app, without installing anything.
The MP3 is encoded on your device, so the recording is never sent to a server to be converted.

Quick tips
MP3 recording tips
The first conversion loads the converter (about 30 MB); later ones start straight away.
M4A is smaller at the same quality, if your player supports it.
Turn off voice clean-up when recording music, so held notes are not treated as noise.
FAQ
Audio to MP3 questions
What quality is the MP3?
192 kbps, which is more than enough for speech and good for music.
Why is the recording M4A before I convert it?
Browsers record compressed audio in their own formats: usually M4A in Chrome, Edge, and Safari, and WebM in Firefox. Save as MP3 converts it on your device.
Can I convert a video I already have to MP3?
Yes. Video to MP3 pulls the audio out of a video file, also in your browser.
