How to Convert Audio to MP3 on iPhone
iPhones don't ship with an audio converter, and the App Store is full of ones stuffed with ads. You can skip all that: mp3bat works in Safari on iOS, converts on the phone itself, and saves straight to the Files app.
Step by step
- Get the file into Files. Make sure your audio is in the Files app (from an email attachment, AirDrop, or a download).
- Open the converter in Safari. Open the mp3bat converter page in Safari.
- Choose your file. Tap the drop zone and pick the audio file from Files.
- Select quality and convert. Choose a bitrate and tap Convert to MP3 — iOS encodes it locally in Safari.
- Save to Files. Tap Download, then choose Save to Files to keep the MP3 on your iPhone.
FAQ
Do I need an app from the App Store?
No. mp3bat runs in Safari, so there's nothing to install — and no ad-laden converter app harvesting your data.
Where does the MP3 go on my iPhone?
When you tap Download you can choose Save to Files, which stores the MP3 on your device or in iCloud Drive, wherever you point it.
