How do I convert an MP4 file to FLAC?

Open the converter, upload your MP4 file, choose FLAC as the output format, and hit 'Convert'. The audio track is extracted and encoded to FLAC losslessly. Download the resulting .flac file; the video track is discarded.

Why would I convert MP4 to FLAC?

FLAC delivers lossless audio, making it ideal for archival, professional editing, and playback on high-fidelity systems. While MP4's AAC audio is compressed, FLAC preserves every bit, ensuring no further quality loss in your workflow.

What happens to the audio quality and video track during MP4 to FLAC conversion?

The converter extracts the audio stream from the MP4 container and encodes it to FLAC at the same sample rate and bit depth as the source. The video track is ignored. If the source audio is AAC (lossy), the output FLAC is a lossless encoding of that decoded audio, so no additional quality is lost, but original lossy artifacts remain. Metadata such as cover art is transferred when present.
