How to convert WMA to MP3
Add one WMA file, choose 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps, then download the MP3. The default is 128 kbps. This online WMA to MP3 tool runs the conversion on your device, so the file is not uploaded.
Why convert an old WMA file to MP3
WMA is the audio format from older Windows Media Player recordings and some legacy voice recorders. Many current players, phones and editors open MP3 but not WMA, so converting an old recording to MP3 makes it easier to play and share.
Choose a bitrate for your MP3
MP3 uses lossy compression. A lower bitrate may make a smaller listening copy; a higher bitrate can retain more detail. WMA files can use different Windows Media codecs, so the output size and sound depend on the source as well as the bitrate.
Need a transcript instead of an MP3?
You can send your original WMA file to WMA transcription without converting it here first. Transcription is separate from this free local converter: it uploads prepared audio and requires an account. Speaker labels are available when selected. Eligible personal accounts can receive 30 free minutes after card verification.

Frequently asked questions
Is this WMA to MP3 converter free?
Yes. Converting one WMA file to MP3 in your browser is free and needs no account. Transcription is a separate service with its own account and minute pricing.
Does converting WMA to MP3 upload my file?
No. The converter processes the WMA in your browser and downloads the MP3 to your device. Choosing transcription separately uploads prepared audio.
Why would I convert an old WMA recording to MP3?
WMA came from older Windows Media software and recorders. Many current players, phones and editors open MP3 but not WMA, so converting makes the file easier to use.
Which MP3 bitrate can I choose?
Choose 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps; 128 kbps is selected by default. A higher bitrate can retain more detail but often makes a larger MP3.
Will every WMA file convert and play on every device?
WMA files can use different Windows Media audio codecs. Conversion depends on the codec and your browser or device, and playback depends on your MP3 player.
Can I transcribe the WMA instead?
Yes, through the separate Hushscript transcription service, which uploads prepared audio and requires an account. Speaker labels are available when selected.
