How do I convert ALAC files to FLAC?

Upload your ALAC files, choose FLAC as the output format, set the compression level (e.g., 8 for best compression), then click Convert. After processing, download the FLAC files to your device.

Why should I convert from ALAC to FLAC?

FLAC is an open-source, royalty-free codec supported by more devices and software than Apple's ALAC, including Android, Windows, Linux, and many in-car systems. FLAC also often achieves slightly better compression, saving disk space without losing any audio quality.

Does converting ALAC to FLAC reduce audio quality?

No. Both ALAC and FLAC are lossless codecs, so the audio data is mathematically identical after conversion. Sample rate, bit depth, and channel configuration (e.g., stereo, 5.1) are fully preserved. Only the encoded file format changes, allowing for compression that exactly reconstructs the original PCM audio.
