TAK to TTA Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor and True Audio exist for different jobs: TAK is a German high-ratio lossless codec — close to Monkey's Audio ratios with much faster decoding. Convert TTA to FLAC or MP3 for everyday playback.
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 TAK format
TAK (Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor) chases the best ratio-per-decode-speed point: it compresses close to Monkey's Audio while decoding several times faster, and its integer-only decoder is unusually robust against bit errors — an audiophile favorite in the 2000s Windows world.
The official encoder is Windows-only, which froze the ecosystem; ffmpeg reads TAK files losslessly, so converting to FLAC unlocks them for every other platform and player.
+ Strengths
- ✓Near-APE ratios, much faster decode
- ✓Very robust against bit errors
- ✓Pipes with cuesheets for albums
! Limitations
- −Windows-only official encoder
- −Development is slow/inactive
- −Few converters besides ffmpeg
About the TTA format
TTA (True Audio) is a no-frills real-time lossless compressor: simple 32-bit crypto-free checksums, multi-threadable encoding and IDs at both frame and file level. It filled the lossless niche on slow connections and in Russian archive communities where FLAC arrived late.
Decoding is near-instant and lossless, so converting TTA to FLAC or MP3 costs nothing in fidelity — the audio is identical, the compatibility is finally universal.
+ Strengths
- ✓Real-time speed on modest hardware
- ✓Simple, well-documented container
- ✓Error-tolerant frame structure
! Limitations
- −Compression ratios behind modern codecs
- −Ecosystem largely inactive
- −Tagging support is weak
Why convert TAK to TTA?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of TTA meet what TAK cannot give you. Real-time speed on modest hardware Meanwhile Windows-only official encoder One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this TAK to TTA 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 TAK to TTA?
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 TAK to TTA reduce audio quality?
If TTA is lossless, the output contains everything the TAK file contains — no further loss is added. If TTA 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.
