Convert Any Audio File to Lossless FLAC for Archival-Quality Sound

If you care about audio quality, FLAC is your format. The Free Lossless Audio Codec compresses audio without discarding a single bit of data - unlike MP3, AAC, or OGG, which sacrifice quality for smaller files. The Audio to FLAC Converter takes any audio file you throw at it - WAV, MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, WMA, AIFF, or dozens of other formats - and produces a pristine FLAC file suitable for archival, audiophile listening, or professional audio workflows.

Why FLAC Matters

Every time you encode audio as MP3 or AAC, information is permanently lost. The compression algorithms discard frequencies and dynamics they deem inaudible, but those calculations are imperfect. Repeated encoding - converting MP3 to AAC, then back to MP3 - degrades quality further with each generation. FLAC avoids this problem entirely. A FLAC file is a perfect, bit-for-bit reproduction of the original audio data, just stored more efficiently.

FLAC typically compresses audio to 50-70% of the original WAV size. That is not as small as MP3, but it is a significant saving when you are archiving hundreds of albums and every byte of quality matters.

Supported Input Formats

The converter uses ffmpeg.wasm, which means it can read virtually any audio format. Common conversions include:

WAV to FLAC - the most popular path. WAV files from recording sessions, CD rips, and DAW exports are lossless but uncompressed. Converting to FLAC preserves every sample while cutting the file size roughly in half.

AIFF to FLAC - the macOS equivalent of WAV-to-FLAC. Logic Pro and GarageBand export AIFF natively, and FLAC is the more space-efficient archival choice.

MP3 to FLAC - technically lossless encoding of lossy source material. The quality cannot improve beyond what the MP3 contains, but wrapping it in FLAC prevents further generational loss if the file needs to be transcoded again later.

M4A/AAC to FLAC - same principle as MP3 to FLAC. Useful when an application requires FLAC input and your source is in Apple's AAC format.

How the Conversion Works

Upload your audio file. The converter decodes it completely - reconstructing the raw PCM audio data - then feeds that data into the FLAC encoder. You can choose the compression level, which affects encoding speed and file size but never affects audio quality. Higher compression produces smaller files but takes longer to encode. Lower compression is faster with slightly larger output. The audio content is identical regardless of compression level - that is the fundamental promise of lossless encoding.

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your audio stays on your device, which is essential for unreleased music, confidential recordings, and any audio you would not want a third party to access.

Who Uses FLAC?

Audiophiles with high-end DACs and headphones hear the difference between lossy and lossless audio and insist on FLAC for their libraries. Music producers archive masters as FLAC when WAV storage costs add up. Podcast editors keep FLAC copies of raw interviews as insurance against needing to re-edit from the highest-quality source. Libraries and archives preserving oral histories, field recordings, and musical heritage use FLAC as the standard preservation format because it is open-source, patent-free, and backed by an active community.

FLAC Playback Support

FLAC plays natively on Android, Windows 10 and later, macOS (since Catalina), VLC, foobar2000, Winamp, and most network audio players like Sonos and Denon. Apple devices gained native FLAC support in iOS 11 and macOS 10.13. Streaming services like Tidal, Amazon Music HD, and Apple Music (via ALAC, which is functionally equivalent) have normalised lossless audio for mainstream listeners.
