Drop EAC3 (Dolby Digital Plus, EC3) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the FLAC, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The EAC3 to FLAC converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your audio files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
E-AC-3 does not play in most music players or browsers. FLAC keeps full quality at about half the size of WAV. An EAC3 file usually holds Dolby Digital Plus, up to 7.1 channels. EAC3 is at home in surround-sound audio for streaming and Blu-ray; FLAC is the usual choice for archiving music at full quality. FLAC cannot bring back detail that EAC3 compression already removed; it simply stores the result without further loss, in a larger file.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can trim the start and end.
This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because EAC3 is not handled by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB.
E-AC-3, marketed as Dolby Digital Plus, is the successor to AC3. It compresses more efficiently, supports more channels and higher bitrates, and is widely used for streaming video and Blu-ray soundtracks. It is a different, incompatible bitstream, so older AC3-only hardware cannot play it.

EAC3 converterFLAC compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV without losing anything, like a ZIP for sound. It is the standard for lossless music collections. Apple's Music app is the notable holdout.

No. The EAC3 to FLAC conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No further quality is lost: FLAC stores the decoded audio exactly. It cannot restore what EAC3 compression already discarded, and the file will be larger.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the EAC3 file, press Convert and save the FLAC. There is nothing to install.
Yes. EAC3 to FLAC runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
