FLAC (.flac) · 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.
FLAC is lossless. Converting to M4A reduces file size at the cost of some audio data. Use a high bitrate to minimize loss. The output is identical regardless of which device or browser you use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does M4A quality compare to FLAC?
At 256kbps AAC, the difference from FLAC is nearly imperceptible in normal listening. You lose the lossless guarantee, but the audible quality is excellent.
Will my FLAC metadata transfer to M4A?
Yes. M4A has excellent metadata support — title, artist, album, track number, and album art all transfer cleanly.
Is M4A the same as AAC?
M4A is the container file format, and AAC is the codec inside it. M4A files almost always use AAC compression. Think of M4A as the box and AAC as what's inside.
