About the SMP format

SMP is the Turtle Beach sample format — raw 8/16-bit PCM dumps used by early PC sound-card sample editors.

ffmpeg decodes it natively inside your browser — the audio track is re-encoded to your chosen format with nothing ever uploaded.

+ Strengths

  • ✓Runs entirely in your browser
  • ✓Free, private, no watermarks

! Limitations

  • −Legacy niche format
  • −Modern tools rarely open it
  • −Keep the original for archival round-trips

About the TTA format

TTA (True Audio) is a no-frills real-time lossless compressor: simple 32-bit crypto-free checksums, multi-threadable encoding and IDs at both frame and file level. It filled the lossless niche on slow connections and in Russian archive communities where FLAC arrived late.

Decoding is near-instant and lossless, so converting TTA to FLAC or MP3 costs nothing in fidelity — the audio is identical, the compatibility is finally universal.

+ Strengths

  • ✓Real-time speed on modest hardware
  • ✓Simple, well-documented container
  • ✓Error-tolerant frame structure

! Limitations

  • −Compression ratios behind modern codecs
  • −Ecosystem largely inactive
  • −Tagging support is weak

Frequently asked questions

Is this SMP to TTA 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 SMP to TTA?

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.

Will converting SMP to TTA reduce audio quality?

If TTA is lossless, the output contains everything the SMP file contains — no further loss is added. If TTA is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
