What is an .AAC file?
AAC files are audio files saved in the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format, a lossy compression format designed to deliver high-quality sound at smaller file sizes. Compared to MP3, AAC generally provides better audio quality at the same or lower bitrates, which is why it became a widely adopted standard for digital music and streaming. This format is commonly used in platforms like Apple Music, YouTube, and iTunes, as well as in devices such as iPhones, Android phones, and portable music players.
You may encounter AAC files when purchasing or downloading music, streaming audio, or converting CDs and other audio sources into a compressed format. File Viewer Plus can play your AAC files and convert the audio to other popular formats, including MP3 and M4A, at different bitrates and frequencies.
