FLAC to M4A Converter

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that compresses audio without any loss in quality. It is ideal for audiophiles, music archiving, and professional audio storage. FLAC files are much smaller than uncompressed WAVs while preserving the exact original sound. The format supports rich metadata, fast seeking, and is compatible with many players and platforms. FLAC is widely used in music distribution where fidelity is paramount.

M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) is a digital audio file format derived from the MP4 container. It is typically used for audio-only content and supports both AAC and ALAC (Apple Lossless) compression. M4A offers better quality and compression efficiency than MP3 and is commonly used by Apple’s iTunes and devices. Unlike MP3, M4A files are not hindered by licensing restrictions, making them popular for distributing music, podcasts, and audiobooks across modern platforms.
