Convert X to Y

Free Online Converter

Audio formats, subtitles, and documents, converted in your browser. Pick a file, choose the output, and download it without uploading anything.

Subtitles and captions

Subtitle and caption conversion

Subtitle files are timing data, and both major caption formats can become narration. Keep the original cue timing or switch to natural gaps between lines.

Local by design

How browser-based conversion works

  1. 01

    Open the file on your device

    The browser reads the file you pick with the File API. The bytes move into the page, not into a network request.

  2. 02

    Decode with the browser

    Audio containers are decoded by the browser itself, and documents are parsed in the page so the text order is preserved.

  3. 03

    Convert locally

    MP3 encoding runs through a WebAssembly build of the LAME encoder, and speech is generated by the on-page voice engine.

  4. 04

    Download from memory

    The output is assembled as an in-memory blob and handed to you as a download. No upload endpoint ever receives the source file.

Privacy angle

Your files never leave the device

No upload step existsThere is no file upload form, no conversion queue on a server, and no temporary storage bucket. The page reads the file you select and keeps it in memory.

Encoding happens in the pageAudio format conversion uses WebAssembly codecs such as LAME for MP3, and document converters parse text in the same tab, so the source bytes are never transmitted.

You can verify itOpen your browser developer tools, switch to the Network panel, and convert a file. No request carries the file contents; the result appears as an in-memory download.

Questions

Converter and file format FAQs

01

What can I convert on FreeTextoSpeech?

Three families of conversions: audio formats such as WAV to MP3, M4A to MP3, text to MP3, and text to WAV; subtitle files such as SRT and VTT to speech; and documents such as TXT, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, and PDF to narrated audio.
02

Are my files uploaded when I convert them?

No. Audio conversions run entirely in your browser with WebAssembly and the built-in decode APIs, and text is read from the file in the page. Your file never leaves the device, so private recordings, unreleased scripts, and client documents stay private.
03

Is the converter free, and do I need an account?

Every converter on this page is free and needs no account. There is no installer, no browser extension, and no signup wall before you download a result.
04

Which conversion should I start with?

Start from the format you have and the format you need: WAV to MP3 shrinks a finished recording for sharing, SRT or VTT to speech turns captions into narration, and TXT, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, or PDF to speech turns written documents into audio.
05

Do browser converters have limits?

Yes. Local processing means speed depends on your device, and very large batches take proportionally longer because nothing is offloaded to a server. Files that use unusual codecs the browser cannot decode may need to be re-exported before converting.
