How to convert AIFF to WAV
- Add your .AIFF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WAV in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WAV file.
What to expect
- The conversion is lossless - PCM samples are copied unchanged; only the container and byte order differ.
- File size stays roughly the same since both formats are uncompressed; use FLAC or MP3 if you need a smaller file.
- Metadata stored in AIFF (title, author, annotations) may not carry over to the WAV file.
Frequently asked questions
Is AIFF the same audio quality as WAV?
Yes. Both store uncompressed PCM. At the same bit depth and sample rate the audio is bit-for-bit identical.
Will I lose quality converting AIFF to WAV?
No, as long as you keep the same bit depth on export. Forcing a 24-bit source down to 16-bit will discard data.
Why convert AIFF to WAV if they sound the same?
WAV has wider compatibility with Windows software and hardware devices that do not recognise
.aiff files.Does the file get smaller after conversion?
No - both formats are uncompressed and stay about the same size. Convert to FLAC or MP3 to reduce file size.
