Convert AIFF to FLAC
What is AIFF?
AIFF
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is Apple's uncompressed audio format storing PCM waveform data at CD quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit) or higher. Similar to WAV but Mac-native. Large file sizes (10MB per minute at CD quality) but perfect audio fidelity. Converting to other audio formats involves compression decisions.
- AIFF encodes audio using lossless compression at various bitrates
- Lossless audio data provides full fidelity for FLAC conversion
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for FLAC compatibility
What is FLAC?
FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio without quality loss using prediction and entropy coding. Reduces file size 40-60% compared to uncompressed WAV while preserving exact waveform data. Supports up to 8 channels, 655,350 samples per second, and 32-bit resolution. Open-source format without licensing fees. Ideal for archival and high-fidelity playback. Widely supported by audiophile equipment.
- FLAC encodes audio using lossless compression at various bitrates
- Lossless audio data provides full fidelity for AIFF conversion
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for AIFF compatibility
- Linear prediction compression maintains bit-perfect audio reproduction
- Modern format—requires up-to-date software for compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I process multiple .aiff files together?
Yes. Batch mode supports 3 .aiff files (free) or 20 files (premium). Each .aiff converts to .flac separately with preserved filenames and quality.
How secure is browser-based AIFF to FLAC conversion?
Extremely secure. AIFF to FLAC conversion runs isolated in your browser. No network transmission, no external access, no data leakage. Perfect privacy.
Is there a file size cap for AIFF to FLAC conversion?
Free accounts: 100MB cap. Premium accounts: 500MB cap. Standard AIFF files convert easily. Larger audio files require Premium subscription.
What's the average AIFF to FLAC conversion speed?
Nearly instant for typical AIFF files. Browser-based FLAC conversion processes files locally: 1-3 seconds for small files, 5-15 seconds for larger audio content. No server upload—conversion starts immediately.
Do I need to install any software?
No! Everything works directly in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins required. Just upload your file and convert. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
