What is an .APE file?

ape file icon

APE files are audio files saved in the Monkey's Audio (APE) format, which compresses audio without losing any original sound quality. Unlike lossy formats, such as MP3 or AAC, APE retains the full detail of the source audio while still reducing file size. Audiophiles and music enthusiasts who want high-quality sound for music tracks, live recordings, and archival purposes commonly use the files.

You may acquire APE files when buying high-resolution audio online, ripping CDs with lossless settings, or receiving files from audio enthusiasts. File Viewer Plus can play APE files and convert the audio to MP3 or M4A formats at different bitrates and frequencies, making them compatible with a broader range of devices and media players.
