M4A to FLAC

I had an m4a music file with a bitrate of 277 kb/s. (downloaded from Apple music using a TG bot). On converting it to FLAC, using a regular online converting service, the bitrate of the FLAC file was 1633 kb/s.

Can someone please explain this? Is the output FLAC better in quality?

no, it just uses more data to represent the same audio
