Convert AMR to MP3
Ethical Tube's free AMR to MP3 converter turns AMR recordings into MP3, the most compatible audio format. It runs entirely in your browser, so your recordings are never uploaded, and it's free with no sign-up or watermark. The first conversion downloads the FFmpeg engine (10 MB) once, and it's cached after that.
Files are converted on your device and never uploaded.

The formats
AMR and MP3 at a glance
What is an AMR file?
AMR is a compressed audio format designed for speech. Phone calls, voice recorders, and voice messages on older phones use it. Files are tiny, music sounds muffled, and most computers can't play AMR without extra software. It opens in VLC, some Android phones, and specialized audio software. Windows, Mac, and iPhone generally can't play it.
What is an MP3 file?
MP3 is the most widely supported audio format. Its lossy compression makes files about a tenth the size of CD audio, and at 192 kbps or more most people can't hear the difference. Every device that plays music plays MP3. It opens in everything: phones, computers, car stereos, smart speakers, browsers, and every music player and audio editor.
Good to know
What changes when you convert AMR to MP3
- Converting between lossy formats re-encodes the audio, which loses a little quality. Pick a bitrate at least as high as the original's.
- The audio is saved as MP3 at 192 kbps (you can pick 128 to 320 kbps).
- AMR files are converted with FFmpeg running in your browser.
- The first conversion downloads FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (10 MB). It's cached, so later visits start quickly.
- Copy-protected (DRM) files can't be converted.
- Very long videos can run out of memory, especially on phones.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this AMR to MP3 converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device. Once the page and the engine have loaded, it even works offline.
Does converting AMR to MP3 lose quality?
MP3 is a lossy format, so the audio is compressed. At the default bitrate most people can't hear a difference. Choose 256 or 320 kbps for music you care about.
Can I convert several AMR files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each MP3 file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes, in any current browser on a computer or phone. FFmpeg runs on your processor without hardware acceleration, so long videos are much faster on a computer.
What can open an MP3 file?
Everything: phones, computers, car stereos, smart speakers, browsers, and every music player and audio editor.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and a computer can usually handle recordings several hours long.
