About HCOM to FLAC Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert HCOM to FLAC online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .hcom file to CocoConvert, pick FLAC as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. HCOM is a widely used file format. FLAC is lossless audio compression — bit-for-bit identical to the original at roughly 50-70% of WAV size. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your HCOM file is decoded and re-encoded as FLAC. Converting HCOM to FLAC maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
