AIFF

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Apple. It preserves full audio quality and stores metadata, so it is widely used for music production, mastering, and archiving on Mac systems. AIFF files are large, so they are often converted to MP3, AAC, or FLAC for everyday listening.

WAV

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an audio format widely used for recording, editing, mastering, and professional audio production. Most WAV files store uncompressed PCM audio at full quality, although the format can also hold compressed codecs. WAV is supported by most audio editors, DAWs, media players, and operating systems, and PCM WAV files are usually much larger than compressed formats like FLAC or MP3.

What happens when AIFF becomes WAV

Source format

AIFF commonly stores uncompressed PCM audio and can be much larger than compressed audio.

Target format

WAV commonly stores uncompressed PCM audio, though the container can hold other codecs.

What changes

Audio samples are decoded from AIFF and encoded according to the WAV format and selected bitrate or quality.

What is preserved
Duration and audible content are preserved, subject to decoder support and any settings you change.
What may be lost
Tags, embedded artwork, chapters, and codec-specific metadata may not map to WAV.
Codec and quality implications
Inspect the output before replacing the source, especially when the formats use different layout, codec, or editing models.
Realistic limitations
Protected audio, malformed headers, unsupported codec variants, or files without a decodable audio stream cannot be converted.

Conversion steps

  1. Upload a AIFF file no larger than 1 GB.
  2. Confirm that WAV is selected as the target.
  3. Download the WAV file and check the result before deleting your source.

Troubleshooting

The AIFF file is rejected or will not open.
Confirm that the file is not empty, password-protected, or corrupt and that its real format matches the extension.
The WAV file is larger than expected.
Choose a more efficient codec or lower quality setting when available. Lossless and uncompressed targets are often larger by design.

Privacy and file retention

Uploads and converted files are processed automatically and irreversibly deleted within 24 hours. You can delete them sooner with the delete control. Convertr does not read, mine, sell, or manually review file contents.
