How do I convert a CAF file to AAC?

Open the CAF to AAC converter, click Upload and select your .caf file. Choose AAC as the output format and pick a bitrate (e.g., 128, 192, or 256 kbps) if available. Click Convert and wait for the re-encoding to finish; then download the resulting .m4a file and use it in any compatible player.

Why should I convert CAF to AAC?

CAF (Core Audio Format) is Apple’s container for uncompressed PCM or Apple Lossless audio, often used in macOS apps and GarageBand. AAC is a lossy compressed codec universally supported by iTunes, iPhones, Android, YouTube, and most web players. Converting CAF to AAC cuts file size dramatically, making it easier to store, stream, and share while maintaining near-transparent sound at 192+ kbps.

What audio attributes are preserved when converting CAF to AAC?

This converter preserves the sample rate (e.g., 44.1/48 kHz) and channel layout (stereo or multichannel) by default. However, AAC is a lossy codec without native bit-depth information, so the original PCM bit depth is not retained; instead, the audio is re-encoded into frequency-domain packets at the chosen bitrate. Metadata tags like title, artist, and album can be copied, but CAF-specific chunks such as loop markers and regions are not carried into the .m4a file.
