Is the FLAC to M4A conversion free?

Yes. Atlas Convert is completely free, no account needed, no watermarks, no ads.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Most conversions run entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm, fflate, canvas). Only when a conversion genuinely requires server-side software (for example PDF↔DOCX or WMV target) is the file sent to our backend, processed in an ephemeral temporary directory, and deleted within seconds.

What does M4A look like compared to FLAC?

Atlas Convert preserves the content faithfully when converting from FLAC to M4A, but the underlying capabilities of each format differ — for example, format-specific features such as transparency, animation, vector data, or document layout may behave differently in the output.
