How do I convert AU to OPUS on LetsConvert?

Upload your .au file, choose OPUS as the output format, and adjust the bitrate if needed (e.g., 128 kbps). Click Convert and download the resulting .opus file. Your original AU file remains untouched.

Why should I convert AU to OPUS?

AU is an uncompressed PCM format common on Sun/Unix systems, so files are large. OPUS is a modern lossy codec delivering excellent quality at much lower bitrates, saving storage and bandwidth. OPUS is also widely supported in browsers, Android, iOS, and macOS, while AU is rarely supported outside legacy systems.

What happens to the audio quality when converting AU to OPUS?

LetsConvert decodes AU's PCM samples and re-encodes to OPUS. This is a lossy process, so bit-for-bit accuracy is not preserved. However, at bitrates of 128 kbps and above, OPUS is perceptually transparent for most users. We preserve the original channel count and sample rate up to 48 kHz.
