About converting FLAC to M4A
If something is asking you for a M4A file and all you have is a FLAC, this page is the fix. Drop in your FLAC file (a .flac) and download a ready-to-use M4A file (a .m4a) — no software to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the output.
What is FLAC?
FLAC is lossless but compressed, giving bit-perfect audio at roughly half the size of WAV — the audiophile and archival choice.
What is M4A?
M4A is an MP4 container holding AAC audio — small, high quality, and the standard for Apple Music and voice memos.
Why convert FLAC to M4A?
Most people convert FLAC to M4A for compatibility — a website, app or device insists on M4A, and FLAC simply won't open. M4A is widely supported, which makes it a dependable target. Audio is processed with ffmpeg using high-quality encoders (LAME, libopus, libvorbis, FLAC and more), so you get the best possible result for the destination format.
FLAC vs M4A: what changes
M4A is lossy, so expect a much smaller file than FLAC — usually at a cost in fidelity small enough to be invisible at normal viewing sizes.
When you'd convert FLAC to M4A
Typical uses: preparing assets for a website, attaching a file someone else can definitely open, or standardising a folder of mixed files into one format.
Is it private?
Privacy is the default here. Your FLAC file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
