Convert FLAC to MPEG
What is FLAC?
FLAC
FLAC is audio-only codec without visual components. Video requires frame sequences with visual data. FLAC lacks video streams—creating video from FLAC audio requires adding visual elements like static images, album artwork, or animated visualizations. This requires video editing software combining lossless audio with generated or imported visuals.
- FLAC contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
- Linear prediction compression maintains bit-perfect audio reproduction
- Modern format—requires up-to-date software for compatibility
What is MPEG?
MPEG
MPEG video containers include audio tracks (MP2, AC3, or AAC). Extracting audio means demultiplexing—separating audio from video streams. The extracted audio maintains its original encoding quality.
- MPEG combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
- Contains separate audio track easily extracted to FLAC format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I process multiple .flac files together?
Yes. Batch mode supports 3 .flac files (free) or 20 files (premium). Each .flac converts to .mpeg separately with preserved filenames and quality.
How private is server-side FLAC to MPEG conversion?
Highly private. FLAC files delete immediately after MPEG conversion. EU hosting, HTTPS encryption, no logging, no retention. Files never persist beyond conversion.
What's the biggest FLAC file I can convert to MPEG?
Free tier: 100MB. Premium tier: 500MB. These limits accommodate 95%+ of typical audio files. Premium recommended for professional FLAC to MPEG workflows.
How long until my FLAC becomes MPEG?
Video processing is intensive. FLAC files under 20MB convert to MPEG in 30-60 seconds. Larger audio files or high-resolution content may take 2-5 minutes. Each video frame requires individual processing.
Do I need to install any software?
No! Everything works directly in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins required. Just upload your file and convert. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
