What is FLAC?
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) compresses PCM audio by 30‑60 % without discarding information, making it ideal for archiving CDs and hi‑res mixes. It uses linear prediction and Rice coding and wraps metadata like cuesheets and artwork in a flexible block structure. Developer Josh Coalson released FLAC 1.0 under the open‑source BSD licence in 2001 as an answer to proprietary formats like Monkey’s Audio. Within a decade, hardware vendors Cowon, FiiO, Logitech Squeezebox added native decoding. In 2015, Apple began supporting FLAC in iOS 11’s Files app, cementing its place as the de‑facto lossless standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does cutting FLAC files reduce quality?
No. HappyScribe cuts without re-encoding, so the clip has exactly the same quality as the original.
Can I make a ringtone with it?
Yes. Cut the part you want (about 30 seconds works for most phones) and download it. Android uses MP3 files directly. iPhone ringtones need the M4R format.
Can I remove a section from the middle?
Not in one step. The cutter keeps one continuous section. To drop a middle part, cut the two parts you want to keep separately.
Why can a video clip start slightly early?
For video formats, we cut without re-encoding, so the clip starts at the nearest keyframe, up to a second or two before the point you chose. Audio cuts are exact.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. No app needed.
Is there a length or file size limit?
There is no length limit. Large files simply take longer to upload.
