Can Handbrake Convert Audio Files? A Complete Guide

Install the Audio Converter software by SysTools

Open the tool, and tap on Add Files to browse and upload your audio or video files.

Choose the type of output you would like to retrieve (MP3, WAV, FLAC, etc.)

Depending on your needs, configure bitrate, sample rate, or channel, etc.

Then you click the convert to process your files in no time.

Unlike HandBrake, SysTools provides direct audio conversion — no additional software or workarounds required.

Conclusion

Does HandBrake convert audio files, then? Not quite—it is primarily designed for transcoding videos and while it can process embedded audio tracks in video files, it cannot efficiently convert standalone audio files. Importantly, if it helps convert audio only, which would be annoying if you have to depend on HandBrake for this.

Rather, prefer using a dedicated solution such as SysTools Audio Converter. It's a powerful all-in-one application which gives high-quality and batch-processed output to save your precious time.

While HandBrake may not be the solution to fast and corporate audio conversion, SysTools Audio Converter can certainly pick up the slack.
