Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Here are 3 simple steps to repair your MP3 using our fast and free repair tool.
No. Our MP3 repair tool will not adjust the quality of the repaired file.
Yes! Our MP3 repair tool is 100% free to use.
No, you can repair as many files as you wish. We do not have any limits when using our MP3 repair tool.
We aim to process MP3 repairs as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer depending on the file size and data needed to be repaired.
Once your MP3 has been selected, it will undergo some initial checks to verify that the file has some basic information. If the initial checks pass, we then upload the file to our servers for more detailed analysis.
Yes, of course it is! Your MP3, once repaired, is deleted 15 minutes after upload, and any download link will expire after this time.

MP3 files are a well-known file format for the storage and playback of music and digital audio. The MP3 format has been around for a long time and has become a standard format for music. Despite newer formats arriving, such as AAC, MP3 still remains the primary choice for digital music playback.
It's highly efficient compression methods allow what would otherwise be very large audio data to be compressed down to a fraction of its size with little noticeable difference in quality. The quality, or bit rate, can be specified from 96KB/s (low quality) to 320KB/s (high quality). Naturally, the higher the bit rate, the larger the final MP3 file.
MP3 files are synonymous with digital music and are therefore supported by all major audio and music editing and playback software. Major operating systems and platforms often have built-in support for the playback of MP3 files.
Due to the desire to keep MP3 files as small as possible, most audio file formats store the audio data in a binary format. Often, this is also compressed using special techniques to further reduce the file size without any discernible loss in quality. As the file formats are generally binary, they will have a certain sequence of bytes preceding the sound data at the beginning of the file which is often referred to as the header. Our MP3 repair tool is able to read this data from the header sequence and determine not only the type of file but also the length of the audio track, the number of channels, metadata, and more.
Most MP3 files will contain two channels of audio data, which make up the stereo sound heard when playing the file. Other files may only have one, and some may have more than two. Our tool will analyse each channel separately and repair what it can. Where a channel is irreparable, the channel will be removed from the final repaired file.
The bitrate (aka quality) of any repaired audio file will remain as it was in the original file. Our tools will not change this setting.
