Audio Bitrate Guide: 128k / 192k / 320k

How bitrate affects size and quality when converting online.

128k suits speech; 192k is a solid daily default; 320k is near the top of common lossy.

Raising bitrate cannot restore detail already lost in a low-bitrate source.

WAV / FLAC ignore bitrate and use sample depth — expect larger files.

Only convert files you have rights to. Processing is local and not stored.
