Common questions about converting to AC3
Can I convert to AC3 in bulk?
Yes, MConverter supports batch converting to AC3. You can even drag and drop folders to convert to AC3. Pasting files and folders copied in the clipboard also works: use Ctrl+V.
Can I convert a file to AC3, if its size is 10 GB?
Yes, with MConverter Max you can convert big files, up to 10 gigabytes each. The free version lets you convert files up to 100 MB. If you need to convert files over 100 megabytes to AC3, try MConverter Max. If your files aren’t over 1 GB, then you can use MConverter Plus instead, as it’s cheaper.
Is converting to AC3 safe with MConverter?
For cloud-based conversions, MConverter encrypts your files using the latest technologies, such as TLS 1.3 and HSTS. They are transmitted securely to our cloud service provider’s EU-based data center, which holds internationally recognized ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications. There, each conversion is processed in a separate, isolated environment. This technique further reduces the risk of a malicious file impacting other conversions. Four hours after the conversion is complete, your files are automatically deleted from MConverter’s systems. You can also permanently delete your files immediately after finishing the conversion with the trash icon. When converting on-device, your files never leave your device. MConverter processes them locally. Note: on-device conversions are not yet available for some hardware-intensive formats. For both cloud and on-device conversions, your files are never scanned or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Join thousands who have trusted MConverter to process over 17,831,450 files so far.
How long does it take to convert a file to AC3?
For most audio files, the wait is usually around a minute. However, MConverter also supports converting larger audio files, meaning that it could take a while (up to over an hour, for example).
