FAQ

What is the difference between FLAC and AAC?

FLAC is a lossless format that preserves all original audio data, while AAC is a lossy format designed for high-quality audio compression and smaller file sizes.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

This tool is designed to process one audio file at a time.

Will I lose audio quality during conversion?

Because AAC is a compressed format, there is a slight reduction in data compared to the original FLAC, but choosing a higher bitrate like 320 kbps minimizes audible differences.

Does this tool support metadata preservation?

Yes, you can enable the 'Keep Metadata' checkbox to retain title, artist, and album information from the original file.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

You can upload FLAC files up to 80 MB in size.

bitrate: 128, sampleRate: 44100
