- Download your new .AIFF file.
What to expect
- The conversion is lossless - WAV and AIFF both store uncompressed PCM, so no audio quality is lost in either direction.

- Metadata (title, artist, etc.) may not transfer completely - check tags in the output file if they matter to you.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting WAV to AIFF affect audio quality?
No. Both formats store raw uncompressed PCM samples; only the container header and byte order change, leaving the audio data untouched.
Will the converted AIFF work in Logic Pro and GarageBand?
Yes - both apps read AIFF natively, and AIFF is Apple's preferred format for professional audio workflows.
What is the difference between .aiff and .aif?
Both extensions refer to the same format.
.aif is a shortened variant common on older Mac systems; any software that reads one will read the other.Can I convert AIFF back to WAV?
Yes, with no quality loss in either direction - just reverse the process using the converter above or the same command-line tools.
