Deezer is the go-to place to listen to millions of high fidelity music. If you are a music lover who wants to keep the best sound quality of your favorite music offline, you may be asking the question: How to download FLAC from Deezer? As all we know, Deezer actually allows the Premium users to unlock offline mode and download any favorite tracks, albums and playlists, but these downloads are actually cached files. This limitation makes it harder for people to build a personal HiFi music collection from Deezer.
In this guide, we'll show you 4 practical ways to download FLAC music from Deezer to your phone and computer. Whether you have a Deezer Premium subscription or not, you'll finally be able to save all your music to your local devices with the highest sound quality. Now, let's get started!
Part 1. Does Deezer Have FLAC?
Yes, Deezer offers FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) audio quality. Deezer adopts high fidelity as the highest sound quality, allowing Premium users to listen to songs in 16-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC quality online and offline. With Standard (128kbps MP3) and Better (320kbps MP3) for loss audio.
However, Deezer does not allow users to download music files in .flac format, which means that these music files do not belong to you, and you can't transfer, share, or play them on third-party music players.
In this case, if you want to save Deezer music as actual FLAC files on your computer or mobile device, you'll need third-party tools. In the next part, we'll share some tools that work on desktop (Windows & Mac) and mobile (Android & iOS) devices.
