Convert AIFF to WAV
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 WAV conversion
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for WAV compatibility
What is WAV?
WAV
WAV stores uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio as raw waveform samples, typically 16-bit or 24-bit at 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates. Also supports compressed formats like MP3 or AAC as payload. Standard CD audio uses 44.1kHz/16-bit stereo. Provides lossless audio quality without psychoacoustic compression. Converting between audio formats may involve compression (WAV→MP3) or decompression (MP3→WAV).
- WAV 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

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 .wav separately with preserved filenames and quality.
Is AIFF to WAV conversion truly private?
Yes—truly private. AIFF to WAV conversion executes entirely client-side. No uploads, no servers, no logging. We physically cannot access your files.
Is there a file size cap for AIFF to WAV 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 WAV conversion speed?
Nearly instant for typical AIFF files. Browser-based WAV 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.
