How to convert MOV to FLAC

  1. Add your MOV files

    Drag one or more MOV files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

    FLAC is already selected: you can adjust bitrate, channels and volume.

Good to know. For the best quality choose FLAC or WAV; for compatibility, MP3.

FLAC

Free Lossless Audio Codec

It compresses audio without losing a single bit: the sound is identical to the original, but the file weighs about half as much as a WAV. It’s the favourite format for archiving CDs and high-resolution music.

Best for
Music archives, audiophiles, faithful copies of CDs.
Limits
Much heavier than an MP3; not every phone and car stereo plays it.

Questions about MOV and FLAC

Which browser do I need?

Audio and video use WebCodecs: they work in up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Opera and Samsung Internet, in Firefox 130+ and Safari 17+ (with a few limits on the formats they can create). If your browser can’t create the chosen format, we tell you before you start.

Are my MOV files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from MOV to FLAC happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
