The problem

Converting a song shouldn't cost you the song

One file in the wrong format, and suddenly you are pasting music into a website that caps the size, strips the tags and shows you three ads per click.

Upload, wait, download

Online converters want every song on their servers, then make you wait for each file to come back one by one.

Size caps and queues

A long album or audiobook is too big for the free tier, so you split it, pay up or give up.

Tags and covers lost

Artist, album, track number and the cover art quietly disappear, and your player turns into a list of "Unknown".

Ads on every click

Fake download buttons, pop-ups and "recommended offers" between you and a three-minute MP3.

Freeware with passengers

Desktop converters from unknown developers that install toolbars or extra programs along the way.

Worse sound than you started with

A 128 kbps file "upgraded" to 320 kbps, or re-encoded for no reason, loses quality and wastes space.

Vow Audio Converter fixes all of it.

How it works

Drop. Choose. Convert.

MP3 is already picked for you. Drop the files and press one button, or choose a recipe for your phone, car or archive.

  1. 01

    Drop your files

    Drag in songs, whole folders, CUE sheets or videos, or paste with Ctrl+V. Each file's format, bit rate, length and cover appear at once.

  2. 02

    Pick a format or a recipe

    MP3 is preselected. Or choose a recipe such as Car stereo, iPhone / Android, Voice / podcast or Lossless archive, and a quality from Small to Best.

Features

A converter that respects the music

For music collectors, podcasters, audiobook listeners and anyone with a car stereo that only plays MP3.

11 output formats

MP3, M4A (AAC), WAV, FLAC, OPUS, OGG Vorbis, ALAC, AIFF, WMA, M4R ringtone and AC3, from anything FFmpeg can read.

Tags and album art kept

Title, artist, album, track and the rest carried across, with the cover embedded or taken from the folder's cover.jpg.

Eight one-click recipes

Car stereo, Upload / email, iPhone / Android, Voice / podcast, CD quality WAV, Lossless archive, Smallest files and iPhone ringtone.

Even loudness

Two-pass EBU R128 loudness from -9 to -23 LUFS, peak normalise and a gain control, so a playlist plays at one level.

Split CUE albums and chapters

Turn one big album file with a CUE sheet into separate tracks, or an M4B audiobook into its chapters.

Join files into one

Combine a set of files, in any mix of formats, into a single track in the order you choose.

Never makes it worse

Files already in the right format are copied as they are, and the bit rate is never raised above the source's.

Every result checked

Each new file is probed and its length compared with the original before it is saved. A failed job leaves nothing behind.

Every CPU core at work

Unlimited converts many files at once, one per processor thread, so a whole collection is done in moments.

Edit tags and trim

Fix a title or track number, or convert just part of a file with a start and end time, from the details drawer.

Light & dark theme

Easy on the eyes, day or night.

Audio Converter comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.

  • DarkGentle on tired eyes late at night

Step-by-step guide

How to convert audio files to MP3 on Windows

From a folder of FLAC or M4A files to MP3s that play anywhere, in about a minute.

Step 1: get it free
  1. Install Vow Audio Converter free

    Download it from this page and run the installer. It needs no administrator rights and no account, and FFmpeg comes built in, so there is nothing else to find.

  2. Drop your files on the window

    Drag in songs, a whole folder, a CUE sheet or a video, or press Ctrl+O. You can also turn on a right-click "Convert with Vow Audio Converter" entry in Explorer.

  3. Choose MP3 and a quality

    MP3 with the Car stereo recipe is already selected. Pick Small, Standard, High or Best; the card shows exactly what that means and how big the result will be.

  4. Press Convert

    Press Convert or Ctrl+Enter. Each file shows its progress, and every result is read back and its length checked before it is renamed into place.

  5. Play it or open the folder

    Use Play or Show on any row. Results go to Music\Vow Audio Converter by default, or next to the originals if you prefer, and the Results card shows the size before and after.

FAQ

Questions about Audio Converter

Is Vow Audio Converter free?

Yes. You can convert 10 files every day to MP3, M4A or WAV for free, with every quality and sound option and the main tags kept. There are no ads and no watermarks. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, removes the daily limit and adds all 11 formats, every tag and the album art, CUE and chapter splitting, joining and parallel conversion.

Does it upload my music?

No. Every conversion runs on your own PC with the built-in FFmpeg. Your files never leave your computer, there is no account, and the app works with no internet connection.

Which formats can it open and save?

It opens M4A, FLAC, OPUS, WAV, WMA, AIFF, APE, MP3 and practically any other audio, plus the sound of video files. It saves MP3, M4A and WAV for free, and FLAC, OPUS, OGG Vorbis, ALAC, AIFF, WMA, M4R and AC3 with Unlimited.

Will my tags and album art survive?

The free version keeps title, artist, album and track. Unlimited keeps every tag plus the album art, embedded or taken from the folder's cover.jpg, and can resize it. WAV, WMA, AC3 and M4R files can't hold album art, and the app tells you so before you convert.

Will converting lose quality?

As little as possible. Files already in the target format at or below the chosen quality are copied untouched, the bit rate is never raised above the source's, resampling uses the high-quality soxr engine, and lossless formats keep every bit.

Can it make all my songs the same loudness?

Yes, in the free version too. Choose a two-pass EBU R128 loudness target from -9 to -23 LUFS, peak normalise to a ceiling or add a fixed gain. Silence at both ends can be trimmed as well.

Can it split a CUE album or audiobook chapters?

Yes, with Unlimited. Drop an album file with its .cue sheet and it becomes separate, tagged tracks; M4B and MKA audiobooks split by their chapters. You can also join several files into one.

Is it safe to install?

Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The installer contains no ads, no toolbars and no bundled software, needs no administrator rights, and uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
