How do I convert MP3 to ALAC using this tool?

Upload your MP3 file via the file picker, then choose ALAC from the output format drop-down. Click 'Convert' and the tool will transcode the audio to Apple Lossless, preserving original sample rate and bit depth. Once finished, download the ALAC file directly from the browser.

Why should I convert MP3 to ALAC?

ALAC is Apple's lossless audio codec, designed for high-fidelity playback on iTunes, iPhone, and iPad. It offers bit-perfect storage without further audio degradation. Converting MP3 to ALAC is beneficial for archival purposes or when preparing audio for editing, as it prevents cumulative quality loss from multiple re-encodes. Note that MP3's inherent lossy artifacts remain, but no additional loss occurs.

What happens to the audio data during MP3-to-ALAC conversion?

The MP3 file is decoded by our converter and then re-encoded into ALAC using a lossless compression algorithm. The resulting ALAC file contains an exact copy of the audio data present in the MP3 stream, including its bitrate and sample rate. However, frequencies or detail already discarded by the original MP3 encoding cannot be recovered; ALAC stores what's there without adding distortion.
