Convert RA to AU

There are strong reasons to convert RA to AU:

Privacy advantage: Converting locally with Xonvert means sensitive RealAudio files never leave your device during the AU Audio conversion.

Social media ready: Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook prefer AU Audio format for uploads, ensuring your content displays correctly.

Cross-device access: AU Audio files open seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android — unlike RealAudio, which may require specialized software.

Embedding support: AU Audio files embed cleanly in websites, documents, and presentations without requiring additional plugins or viewers.

Feature support: AU Audio supports simple format with wide Unix/Linux tool support, which may not be available or optimal in the RealAudio format.

Converting RA to AU with Xonvert is straightforward:

1. Upload source — Drop your RA file onto this page. Works with files from any location on your device.
2. Verify and adjust — Check that the source was detected correctly. Tweak advanced options if you're an experienced user.
3. Process — Click Convert. Xonvert's engine handles the RA to AU transformation in-browser.
4. Save output — Your AU file downloads with the original name and new extension. Ready for immediate use.

Supported bitrates as low as 6 kbps for dial-up modems When this data is re-encoded into AU Audio, Supports mu-law, A-law and linear PCM encoding Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. AU Audio preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.

Audio conversion from RealAudio to AU Audio focuses on preserving sonic fidelity while adapting to the target format's characteristics. Converting lossy RealAudio to lossless AU Audio preserves your current audio quality without further loss — useful for archiving your existing collection, though it won't restore frequencies already removed. Sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout are preserved when supported by the target format.

Important: Converting from lossy RA to lossless AU does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original RA encoding cannot be recovered.

Common scenarios for RA to AU conversion:

• Email attachments — AU files are typically smaller, making them easier to send via email without exceeding size limits.
