How do I convert a FLAC file to AU using LetsConvert?

Upload your FLAC file, select AU as the output format, choose your desired sample rate and bit depth if needed, click Convert, then download the resulting AU file. The conversion happens in your browser and is ready within seconds.

Why convert FLAC to AU instead of keeping FLAC?

AU is an uncompressed PCM format natively supported by older Unix/NeXT systems and Java, while FLAC is a compressed lossless format that may require additional software. Converting to AU ensures compatibility with legacy audio tools, though the file will be significantly larger.

What audio attributes are preserved during FLAC to AU conversion?

The conversion decodes FLAC's lossless compression and writes the uncompressed PCM data into an AU container, preserving the exact sample rate, bit depth, and channel count. However, metadata such as tags is generally not retained because AU has minimal metadata support.

Is FLAC-TO-AU free to use?

Yes, FLAC-TO-AU on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?
