Bitrate

Higher means better sound and a larger file. “Auto” keeps the bitrate of the original (at least 128 kbit/s); from lossless files it uses the format’s high-quality setting.

PDF/A-2b embeds all fonts so the file looks the same in many years; required by many courts and public offices.

Scales every sheet so it fits on a single page instead of being split across several.

Sheets

CSV and TSV hold one table: with “Every sheet” each sheet becomes its own file, together in a ZIP.

About this tool

FLAC is the most popular lossless audio format: CD quality or better, about half the size of WAV. AC3 (Dolby Digital) is the surround-sound format of DVDs, Blu-rays and TV broadcasts.

This converter turns your FLAC files into AC3, the right choice for DVD and Blu-ray authoring, home cinema systems and TV. By default the sound keeps its full quality and its title, artist, album and cover art; open “Options” to choose a bitrate, sample rate or mono/stereo, or to cut out just the part you need. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.

Files are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 7 days unless you delete it sooner.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert FLAC to AC3?

Choose or drop your FLAC file, keep AC3 as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts it and shows the progress; then you download the AC3 file.

Will the sound lose quality?

We convert at full quality by default: lossless formats stay lossless, and for compressed formats “Auto” keeps the bitrate of the original (at least 128 kbit/s). Converting a compressed file into a lossless format cannot bring back detail that was already removed, but it adds no further loss.

Are the title, artist and cover kept?

Yes. Tags such as title, artist and album are copied to the AC3 file whenever the format can store them, and cover art too for MP3, M4A and FLAC. You can turn this off in “Options”.

Can I cut the audio?

Yes. Under “Options” enter a start and/or end time (for example 0:30 and 1:45) and only that part is converted.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes, up to 10 at a time, each with its own progress. A file can be up to 300 MB and 10 hours long.

What happens to my files?

They are uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the AC3 file is kept for 7 days so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.
