Convert MOV to FLAC — Free Online Converter

MOV files from Apple devices pair video with AAC or ALAC audio tracks. FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source lossless compression format created by Josh Coalson in 2001. It compresses audio to 50-60% of original PCM size with zero data loss and is the universal standard for lossless audio on non-Apple platforms — supported by Android, Windows, Linux, and all major music streaming services.

Extracting audio from MOV to FLAC produces a lossless, cross-platform audio file that preserves every sample from the original recording. Unlike Apple-exclusive ALAC, FLAC plays natively on Android, Windows Media Player, VLC, and virtually every audio device and software outside the Apple ecosystem.

FLAC is also the preferred archival format for audiophile communities and music libraries, with robust metadata support including embedded album art, ReplayGain tags, and cue sheet integration.
