Question 1

How do I convert an MOV file to FLAC?

Accepted Answer

Drag your MOV file onto the box above, or click Select file to choose it. Click Convert and wait for the progress bar to finish. Click Download to save the FLAC file.

Question 2

Is FLAC the right format for my MOV video?

Accepted Answer

Usually not, unless you plan to edit or archive the sound. MOV videos usually store their sound as AAC, which is a compressed format. FLAC keeps that sound without any further loss, but it can't restore detail that was already removed. The FLAC file ends up much bigger without sounding better. FLAC is the right choice for MOV files from cameras that record uncompressed 24-bit sound. It keeps all 24 bits. For listening, MOV to MP3 or MOV to M4A gives a far smaller file that sounds just as good.

Question 3

Is the 24-bit sound from my camera kept?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When your camera records 24-bit sound, the FLAC file keeps it as 24-bit, with nothing lost.

Question 4

Why isn't my video accepted?

Accepted Answer

This page accepts MOV files, whose names end in .mov. Most other videos are MP4, WebM or MKV files. Check the end of the file name and use the matching converter: MP4 to FLAC, WebM to FLAC or MKV to FLAC.
