WMA (.wma) · Max 20 MB
The catch with most "free" converters shows up at the end: the download needs an account, a watermark tone is mixed into the audio, or your file waits in a queue behind paying users. None of that applies here. The engine is the same one Pro uses — same speed, same bitrate options — and the output is clean and unmarked.
Free also means free of the usual hidden cost: your file. Many no-cost converters are free precisely because your upload is the product. Here the conversion runs in your browser, so the WMA never leaves your device. Given that WMA files usually come from CDs ripped in Windows Media Player during the 2000s, when it was the Windows default, that's worth more than the price.
The file gets bigger — roughly 4× — because FLAC stores about 5 MB per minute against WMA's 1.2. For a working file that's irrelevant. WMA is lossy, and the detail its encoder discarded is gone permanently — converting to FLAC cannot restore it. What you gain is that nothing you do afterwards costs any further quality.
Free covers input files up to 20MB file size limit with a 10-second preview output, and 5 conversions per month. Pro removes those limits for full-length conversions up to 500MB file size limit — and the privacy behaviour is identical, because there was never a server in the loop.
WMA files come from CDs ripped in Windows Media Player during the 2000s, when it was the Windows default. WMA has been abandoned — macOS, iPhones, most Android apps, car stereos and smart speakers all skip it — which is the whole reason this conversion exists. FLAC is the destination when you need uncompressed, edit-ready audio that every DAW and editor accepts. The file gets bigger — roughly 4× — because FLAC stores about 5 MB per minute against WMA's 1.2. For a working file that's irrelevant. One honest note on this exact pair: WMA is already lossy, so moving to FLAC cannot restore detail the WMA encoder discarded — it hands you an uncompressed container, not better audio, and the value is a loss-free chain from here on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this WMA to FLAC converter really free?
Yes — no watermark, no signup, no queue. Free covers files up to 20MB file size limit, 5 conversions per month, and a 10-second preview output. Pro removes those caps; the engine and audio quality are identical on both tiers.
What's the catch with free converters?
Usually one of four: a watermark tone in the audio, a forced account before download, a throttled queue behind paying users, or your file quietly becoming the product on someone's server. None apply here, because the conversion never leaves your machine.
Do I need an account to download the FLAC file?
No. The file downloads straight from your browser the moment conversion finishes — it never went anywhere, so there's nothing to gate behind a login.
Is the free output lower quality?
No. Free and Pro use the same encoder and the same bitrate options. Quality is never the paywall — the free tier limits length and file size, not fidelity.
How much smaller or larger will the file be?
The file gets bigger — roughly 4× — because FLAC stores about 5 MB per minute against WMA's 1.2. For a working file that's irrelevant.
