What changes in this conversion

  • OPUS uses lossy compression, so some audio detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file.
  • OPUS is a newer format — check that the software or device you are sending it to supports it before switching.

How to use

  1. Add your ALAC file

    Drag the ALAC file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm OPUS as the output

    OPUS is already selected as the output format on this page. You can pick the bitrate — higher keeps more of the sound, lower makes a smaller file.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. Audio decodes and re-encodes in your browser — a normal song finishes in a few seconds.

  4. Download the OPUS file

    When it finishes, download the OPUS file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting ALAC to OPUS really free?

Yes. ALAC to OPUS conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my ALAC files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the ALAC file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Does converting ALAC to OPUS reduce quality?

OPUS uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible, and the file becomes far smaller.

Will the OPUS file open everywhere?

OPUS is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original ALAC if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.

Is there a file size limit for ALAC to OPUS conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
