How to convert MKA to FLAC

  1. Add your MKA audio files

    Drop MKA (Matroska audio) 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.

  2. FLAC is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the FLAC, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

MKA to FLAC: what to expect

MKA does not play in Apple's players, in most browsers or on many phones. FLAC keeps full quality at about half the size of WAV. An MKA file usually holds Almost any audio codec, with chapters and tags. MKA is at home in audio with chapters, several tracks or codecs other formats do not hold; FLAC is the usual choice for archiving music at full quality.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can trim the start and end.

The conversion uses your browser's own video and audio codecs (WebCodecs), with hardware acceleration where the device has it; the file is read from disk as it goes and can be up to 2 GB. Where the browser lacks a codec, the page falls back to the compatibility engine.

MKA vs FLAC

MKA

Matroska audio

MKA is the audio-only variant of the Matroska container, the same open container as MKV. It can hold nearly any audio codec together with chapters, tags and cover art, and is used for audiobooks, concerts and multichannel recordings.

Opens in VLC, foobar2000 and most desktop players; not Apple's players or most browsers

FLAC

FLAC audio

FLAC 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.

Opens in Android, Windows, VLC, most hi-fi players; Apple Music does not import it

Questions

Are my audio files uploaded anywhere?

No. The MKA to FLAC conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting MKA to FLAC reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: FLAC stores the decoded audio exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several MKA files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert MKA to FLAC on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

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 MKA file, press Convert and save the FLAC. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
