About FLAC
FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source lossless audio format that compresses audio without discarding any information, typically reducing file size by 50-60% compared to WAV while allowing perfect reconstruction of the original signal. FLAC is the preferred format for high-fidelity music archives and audiophile collections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FLAC?▼
FLAC is the audiophile standard — lossless compression that shrinks audio to about half the WAV size while preserving 100% of the sound. It also supports rich metadata and album art.
Is FLAC really lossless?▼
Yes. A FLAC file decodes to audio identical to the original WAV, bit for bit. Converting WAV to FLAC loses nothing — it only saves space.
Why convert FLAC to MP3?▼
FLAC files are still large and not every device plays them. For phones, cars, and sharing, MP3 or AAC versions are far more practical.
FLAC vs WAV — which should I keep?▼
Both are lossless, but FLAC takes roughly half the space and supports tags. For archiving music, FLAC is usually the smarter choice.
Are my music files uploaded during conversion?▼
Never. ChameLeo converts locally in your browser — your library stays on your device the whole time.
