The Free Lossless Audio Codec format applies lossless compression to PCM audio, preserving the original waveform exactly while reducing file size by 40-60% versus WAV. Converting to SWF produces a document file that stores data in the SWF format. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. This makes SWF the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
