AAC (.aac) · Max 20 MB
Runs in Firefox and Chrome on any Linux distro. No terminal commands. No package managers. AudioUtils uses WebAssembly to run the conversion engine locally. Your audio stays on your device.
If you prefer the command line, FFmpeg is an alternative. But AudioUtils is faster for quick one-off conversions.
Both AAC and MP3 are lossy formats. Each re-encode can degrade quality slightly. Convert once and keep the result. The output is identical regardless of which device or browser you use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AAC better than MP3?
At the same bitrate, AAC generally sounds better than MP3. It's a newer, more efficient codec. But MP3 has broader device support.
Will I lose quality converting AAC to MP3?
Some quality loss is inevitable when transcoding between lossy formats. Use a high bitrate (256-320kbps) to minimize the impact.
What's the difference between AAC and M4A?
AAC is the codec (compression method). M4A is the container format that usually holds AAC audio. They're closely related — M4A files typically contain AAC-encoded audio.
When should I keep AAC instead of converting?
If your devices support AAC, keep it — it's better quality. Only convert to MP3 when you need maximum compatibility.
