Monkey's Audio
Monkey's Audio lossless format
APE (Monkey's Audio) is a lossless format that compresses slightly better than FLAC. It is popular for CD rips in some music communities.
Advanced Audio Coding
Efficient successor to MP3
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) was designed to replace MP3 and is used by YouTube, Apple and digital radio. An .aac file is a raw AAC stream without an MP4 container.
Audio is converted by ffmpeg running inside your browser. Your files never reach a server.
Queue up to 50 files and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.
Set the bitrate, bit depth, sample rate and channels — or simply keep the sensible defaults.
Add your APE files to the converter above. AAC is already selected as the output, so conversion starts right away. When a file is ready, click Download, or use Download all to get a ZIP.
AAC is a lossy format, so some inaudible detail is discarded to make the file much smaller. At 192 kbps or more, hardly anyone can hear the difference. Keep your APE original if you want a perfect archive.
192 kbps is transparent for most music and 128 kbps is plenty for speech. Choose M4A instead if you want cover art and tags to be kept.
No. The APE to AAC conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a server, so even private recordings stay on your device.
Yes. Add up to 50 files; they are converted one after another, and you can download each AAC file separately or all of them together as a ZIP archive.
