FLAC (англ. Free Lossless Audio Codec — свободный аудио-кодек без потерь) — популярный свободный кодек для сжатия аудио. В отличие от кодеков с потерями Ogg Vorbis, MP3 и AAC, не удаляет никакой информации из аудиопотока и подходит как для прослушивания музыки на высокачественной звуковоспроизводящей аппаратуре, так и для архивирования аудиоколлекции. На сегодня формат FLAC поддерживается многими аудиоприложениями.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for lossless audio data compression. Being lossless, FLAC does not remove information from the audio stream, as lossy compression formats such as MP3, AAC, and Vorbis do. FLAC's primary author is Josh Coalson.

FLAC reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing the integrity of the audio source. A digital audio recording (such as a CD track) encoded to FLAC can be decompressed into an copy of the audio data. Audio sources encoded to FLAC are typically reduced in size 40 to 50 percent (46% according to their own comparison).

FLAC is suitable for everyday audio playback and archival, with support for tagging, cover art and fast seeking. FLAC's free and open source royalty-free nature makes it well-supported by many software applications, but FLAC playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited at this time.
