FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, and is also the name of the free software project producing the FLAC tools, the reference software package that includes a codec implementation. Digital audio compressed by FLAC’s algorithm can typically be reduced to between 50 and 70 percent of its original size and decompress to an identical copy of the original audio data.
