About the formats

M4A · MPEG-4 audio

M4A is an audio file in an MPEG-4 container, usually AAC. iTunes, Apple Music and Voice Memos use it.

FLAC · Free Lossless Audio Codec

FLAC is lossless compressed audio: about half the size of WAV with exactly the same sound. It is popular for music archives.

The conversion runs on your device using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. You can adjust: sample rate, channels, normalise loudness, start at, end at.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, so it is safe for private photos, contracts and business data. Once the page has loaded it even works offline.

Will converting M4A to FLAC reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: FLAC stores the result losslessly. It cannot restore detail that was already discarded when the M4A file was created.

Can I convert multiple M4A files to FLAC at once?

Yes. Add as many M4A files as you like; they are converted in parallel on your device and you can download them all as a single ZIP.

Is it free? Are there limits?

It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits. Because nothing is uploaded there is no upload size limit either; the only limit is your device’s memory, which matters mostly for very large videos.
