How to Convert MP3 to MP2

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your MP3 file or drag & drop it.

Locate your MP3 file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select MP2 as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose MP2 based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted MP2 file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your MP2 file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

Q: Can I convert speech-to-text audio files?

A: If you’ve already got a speech-to-text file, you can upload the audio and convert it to another format. However, RunConvert doesn’t perform transcription. For text-to-speech, there are other specialized tools to check out.

Q: Can I trim my audio before converting it?

Q: What’s the difference between MP3 and OGG formats?

A: Both MP3 and OGG are great for audio compression, but OGG tends to offer better sound quality at smaller file sizes. MP3, however, is more universally accepted. It really comes down to what you prioritize—sound quality or compatibility.

Q: What’s the difference between MP3 and FLAC?

A: MP3 is a compressed format, which means it takes up less space but also loses some quality. FLAC, on the other hand, is lossless, meaning it keeps all the audio quality, but the file size is bigger. It really comes down to your need for sound quality vs. file size!

Q: Can I convert audiobook chapters into separate files?
