Compress lossless FLAC files into universally compatible MP3 audio format with full metadata preservation.
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) preserves exact studio master recordings bit-for-bit, but results in substantial file sizes (typically 30MB to 80MB per song) and is unsupported by Apple Music, iTunes, and many car stereos. Converting FLAC to MP3 shrinks file size by over 75% while producing near-lossless 320kbps audio. This allows you to sync your lossless music collection to iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and portable MP3 players with full ID3 metadata tags intact.

Your private music files are never shared or retained.
FLAC is an open-source, royalty-free audio format designed specifically for lossless compression of digital audio. Authored by Josh Coalson in 2001 and maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation, FLAC employs linear prediction and Rice coding to compress PCM audio by 30% to 60% without discarding a single bit of acoustic information. When decompressed, a FLAC file yields bit-for-bit mathematical identity to the studio original. FLAC is celebrated by audiophiles, music archivists, and hi-fi enthusiasts. FLAC files open natively on modern Windows 10/11, Android devices, and cross-platform media players like VLC and foobar2000. macOS and iOS users can play FLAC tracks via VLC or convert them to ALAC/MP3 for native Apple Music integration.
MP3 is the world's most recognized and universally supported digital audio format. Developed in Germany by the Fraunhofer Institute alongside the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and standardized in 1993, MP3 uses sophisticated psychoacoustic perceptual coding to discard sound frequencies beyond the threshold of human hearing. This compression reduces raw audio data by roughly 75% to 90% without severe perceptual distortion. MP3 remains the global standard for music distribution, podcasts, and digital broadcasting. You can open and play MP3 files natively on Microsoft Windows (Windows Media Player, Groove Music), Apple macOS and iOS (Apple Music, QuickTime), Google Android, Linux (VLC, Audacity), smart TVs, and vehicle infotainment stereos.
