I built a free browser-based audio converter using FFmpeg and WebAssembly

For a long time I struggled to find an online audio converter that didn’t require uploading files to a remote server, creating an account, or tolerating endless popups and ads.

So I decided to build my own:

Free Audio Converter Online — a lightweight tool that runs 100% in the browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.

🎯 What it does:

  • Convert audio files between MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC
  • Support for batch conversion
  • Choose bitrate, sample rate, channels, and compression mode
  • Files are never uploaded — everything happens locally

⚙️ Tech stack

  • FFmpeg compiled to WASM
  • JavaScript + Tailwind CSS
  • Runs entirely client-side, no server logic
  • Simple ZIP packaging for multiple outputs

✅ Why?

Because privacy matters — and audio conversion should be instant, simple and offline when possible.

I'd love any feedback, suggestions or testing help!


P.S. If you've worked with audio in the browser or FFmpeg via WASM, I'd love to hear what you've built too!
