About the FLAC to ALAC Converter
Apple Music and iTunes do not import FLAC files, but they fully support ALAC, Apple's own lossless format stored in .m4a files. FLAC to ALAC is a lossless to lossless conversion, so the audio stays bit-perfect.
Tags and cover art are carried over, and 24-bit hi-res files stay 24-bit.
How to use the FLAC to ALAC Converter
- Drop your FLAC files onto the converter. ALAC is already selected.
- Choose 24-bit for hi-res FLAC, or keep 16-bit for CD-quality files.
- Click Convert, then add the .m4a files to Apple Music or iTunes.
Frequently asked questions
Is FLAC to ALAC lossless?

Will ALAC files be bigger than FLAC?
Usually slightly, by a few percent, because FLAC compresses a little more efficiently.
