What is a AAC file?
AAC, or Advanced Audio Coding, is a widely used audio format known for delivering high-quality sound at relatively low bitrates. Developed as the successor to MP3, it became popular for streaming and digital distribution thanks to its efficient compression algorithms and broad device support.
AAC is the default format for Apple’s iTunes, iOS devices, and YouTube audio. It supports multi-channel audio, a wide frequency range, and features like perceptual noise shaping, making it a favorite for music, podcasts, and even broadcasting.

You can open AAC files with most modern media players like VLC, iTunes, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime. They’re also supported on smartphones and tablets without any additional software.
