FLAC to MP3 for Spotify uploads
Convert lossless FLAC to portable MP3 for any player.
Spotify's loudness normalization and codec quality requirements
Spotify normalizes playback to -14 LUFS and re-encodes to Ogg Vorbis at 96-320 kbps depending on your tier. To survive that pipeline cleanly, your master needs proper loudness, true peak headroom, and a clean lossless source. Distributors take WAV at 16-bit/44.1 kHz minimum; some require 24-bit. Get this right once and you're done.
For independent artists releasing on spotify, the typical workflow is: Master → check spec → upload via distributor. The FLAC to MP3 fits in that chain by handling convert lossless flac to portable mp3 for any player.. without leaving the browser, without uploading the file, and without a watermark.

| Loudness target | -14 LUFS | Spotify playback normalization target |
| True peak | -1 dBTP | Avoids Spotify's normalization triggering inter-sample clipping |

What format does Spotify require for uploads?
Most distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) require WAV at 16-bit/44.1 kHz minimum, FLAC also accepted. Spotify itself re-encodes to Ogg Vorbis on playback.
What loudness target for Spotify?
-14 LUFS integrated, with -1 dBTP true peak ceiling. Going louder triggers Spotify's normalization pull-down; going quieter triggers a boost that can introduce peak issues.
