How to convert TS to AAC

  1. Add your TS videos

    Drop TS (MTS, M2TS) 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. AAC is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for large files.

  3. Download

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

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The TS to AAC converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your videos are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so work starts the moment you press Convert. How long it takes depends on your device and the size of the file.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

TS to AAC: what to expect

Transport streams do not play on phones or in browsers and are awkward to edit. AAC is more efficient than MP3 at the same bitrate. TS is at home in broadcast recordings and camcorder footage (MTS, M2TS); AAC is the usual choice for efficient audio for streaming and video soundtracks. The AAC contains the soundtrack only; the picture is dropped.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate and trim the start and end. This is demanding work for a browser: a long or high-resolution file can take several minutes, and your device does all of it, so keep the tab open.

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. AAC is written at 192 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.

TS vs AAC

TS

MPEG transport stream

A transport stream is how digital TV is broadcast. The same format, under the MTS or M2TS extension, is what AVCHD camcorders record. It is built to survive transmission errors, not for convenient sharing.

Opens in VLC and TV software; not phones or browsers directly

AAC

AAC audio

AAC was designed as the successor to MP3 and is the audio codec inside most MP4 videos and streaming services. A bare .aac file is the raw stream without a container, which some players handle poorly.

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

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

Does converting TS to AAC reduce quality?

The soundtrack is re-encoded as AAC. AAC is lossy, but at a normal bitrate the difference is hard to hear. You can choose the bitrate under Options.

Can I convert several TS 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 TS to AAC 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 TS file, press Convert and save the AAC. 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.
