Questions about ALAC to OPUS

Is converting ALAC to OPUS free?
Yes, one file at a time: the converter on this page runs in your browser, files up to 100 MB, no sign-up. The Filoshi desktop app ($29 once, for Windows) converts many files at once and has no size limit.
Does converting ALAC to OPUS lose quality?
Yes, a little. OPUS is a lossy format, so some detail is thrown away when the file is saved. Filoshi uses a high-quality setting by default, and you can choose the bitrate in the file viewer.
Is my ALAC file uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter on this page runs in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly; your ALAC file is read and converted on your device and never sent to a server. The desktop app works the same way, offline.

Yes. ALAC to OPUS is one of the 1,841 conversions that passed Filoshi's automated test matrix on Windows 11.
Can I convert many ALAC files at once?
Yes, in the desktop app. Drop as many ALAC files as you like on the window, pick OPUS once for all of them, and each file shows its own progress. The new files appear next to the originals, which are never changed.
