Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting CAF to OPUS free?
Yes. This CAF → OPUS converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert CAF to OPUS?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my CAF files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire CAF → OPUS conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple CAF files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many CAF files as you like and convert them to OPUS in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting CAF to OPUS reduce the quality?
Because both formats use lossy compression, the OPUS output will not bring back any quality that has already been lost in your CAF file. Avoid repeated re-encoding to keep the best quality.
Does OPUS support transparency?
No — OPUS has no alpha channel. Transparent areas of your CAF file will be filled with a solid background colour in the converted file.
How will the file size change after converting CAF to OPUS?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the OPUS output will be similar in size to your CAF file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
