MOD to MP2 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Amiga Module and MPEG-1 Audio Layer II exist for different jobs: MOD is the Amiga tracker format — samples plus a pattern table that the demo scene turned into an art form, replayed through its own synthesizer. Broadcast MP2 files convert to MP3 for players that no longer ship the decoder.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the MOD format
MOD is where digital music composition started for a generation: the Amiga tracker format stores short PCM samples plus a pattern table of note events, and the player synthesizes the song live. It is not a waveform — it is sheet music and an instrument pack in one file, which is why 30KB can hold a full song.
Converting MOD to MP3 or WAV renders the song through the tracker engine exactly as it sounds — every player interprets the same patterns, so the render is faithful to the original scene release.
+ Strengths
- ✓Complete songs in tens of kilobytes
- ✓Rich demo-scene heritage
- ✓Self-contained samples + patterns
! Limitations
- −31 8-bit samples max in classic MOD
- −Player interpretation varies subtly
- −4-channel-era limitations
About the MP2 format
MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) is MP3's older, simpler sibling — and despite losing the consumer war, it never left broadcasting: digital TV (DVB), DVD-audio tracks and European radio still transmit MP2 daily. Its decoder is trivial, which is exactly why broadcasters love it.
Consumer devices have quietly dropped the decoder, so MP2 files from TV recordings or radio captures need conversion to MP3 for anything portable. The audio itself is often 256–384 kbps — genuinely good quality hiding in a forgotten format.
+ Strengths
- ✓The broadcast standard — still transmitted daily
- ✓Often high bitrate (256–384 kbps)
! Limitations
- −Dropped by consumer players
- −Less efficient than MP3 at equal quality
Why convert MOD to MP2?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of MP2 meet what MOD cannot give you. The broadcast standard — still transmitted daily Meanwhile 31 8-bit samples max in classic MOD One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this MOD to MP2 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for MOD to MP2?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Are tags like title and artist preserved?
Tag handling varies between target formats and this conversion focuses on the audio itself. For archival copies where tags matter, keep the original file; the converted copy is for playback and sharing.
Can I convert a whole folder of MOD files?
You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
