## Overview

This FLAC viewer plays lossless compressed audio directly in your browser. FLAC shrinks audio to roughly half its raw size while keeping every bit of the original sound — it is the go-to format for high-resolution music. Pick a sample track or choose your own .flac file to play it instantly with no upload.

## When to use

- You received a .flac album rip and want to preview it losslessly.
- You need a private check of a high-resolution master before publishing.
- You want hi-fi audio playback in a browser without a dedicated player.

## How it works

- Select a built-in sample track or choose your own .flac file.
- The audio is decoded and played by your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Use the player controls to play, pause, seek and inspect the track.

## Use cases

## Frequently asked questions

### Is FLAC truly lossless?

Yes. FLAC compresses audio losslessly — decoding produces bit-for-bit the same samples as the original. It typically shrinks CD audio to 50–60% of its size with no quality loss.

### Are my FLAC files uploaded?

No. Files you open from your device stay on your device and are decoded locally. Only the public sample tracks are requested from the server.

### Does it support 24-bit / 96 kHz FLAC?

Most FLAC files, including high-resolution ones, play fine in modern browsers. Playback of the very highest sample rates depends on your device's audio output, but the file is always decoded locally.
