DTS to CAF Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DTS is the competitor surround format to Dolby Digital, common on Blu-ray discs and remuxed movie files. Convert CAF files to WAV or MP3 for use outside the Apple ecosystem.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the DTS format
DTS is Dolby Digital's rival: the other surround format licensed for DVDs and Blu-rays, running at higher bitrates (up to 1.5 Mbps core) for a fuller soundstage. Movie rips and remuxes frequently carry DTS tracks, which is why so many files quietly refuse to play on phones.
Conversion to MP3 or WAV is the way out. Editors will thank you for the WAV; headphones-and-commute listeners will never hear the difference MP3 makes at reasonable bitrates.
+ Strengths
- ✓High-bitrate surround on Blu-ray sources
- ✓Widely present in movie files
! Limitations
- −Mobile/web playback almost nonexistent
- −Large compared to lossy stereo
About the CAF format
CAF (Core Audio Format) is Apple's container for pro audio: 64-bit file offsets for recordings of any length, any codec as payload (PCM, ALAC, AAC), and time-stamped MIDI-style event chunks. Logic Pro exports it and macOS system sounds ship in it.
ffmpeg decodes the common PCM/ALAC payload variants, converting CAF to WAV or MP3 for use in any non-Apple DAW, player or web player.
+ Strengths
- ✓64-bit offsets — no size ceilings
- ✓Native to Logic Pro pipelines
- ✓Flexible codec payload
! Limitations
- −Apple-centric — rare outside macOS
- −Some CAF variants (UUID chunks) unsupported
- −Tag metadata Apple-specific
Why convert DTS to CAF?
There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Mobile/web playback almost nonexistent CAF sidesteps that — 64-bit offsets — no size ceilings If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this DTS to CAF converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for DTS to CAF?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Will converting DTS to CAF reduce audio quality?
If CAF is lossless, the output contains everything the DTS file contains — no further loss is added. If CAF is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
Are tags like title and artist preserved?
Tag handling varies between target formats and this conversion focuses on the audio itself. For archival copies where tags matter, keep the original file; the converted copy is for playback and sharing.
