AIFF and WAV: PCM samples in different containers

Standard AIFF stores big-endian PCM; this WAV output uses little-endian integer PCM. Both can hold uncompressed audio. The tool accepts mono/stereo 16/24-bit standard AIFF, including .aif files, at supported rates from 8,000 to 192,000 Hz. AIFC is rejected, including compressed variants and AIFC files labeled NONE or sowt; changing the extension does not make them standard AIFF.

Choose Sample Rate, Channels and Bit Depth

Sample Rate is the number of samples per second. Original keeps the source rate; choosing 44.1 or 48 kHz resamples when it differs. Channels controls mono or stereo: Original keeps the source layout and Mono downmixes stereo. Bit Depth controls output PCM precision: 24-bit is the default, while reducing a 24-bit source to 16-bit changes its samples. Keeping the original rate and channels with sufficient bit depth preserves supported PCM samples; conversion is not unconditionally lossless and does not recover earlier losses.

To compare outputs or convert a mixed batch, use the Audio Converter for MP3, WAV, FLAC and AIFF. Read WAV vs FLAC for PCM storage and quality or WAV vs MP3 for editing and sharing. Original audio and filenames stay on your device.

Audio quality

Original sample rate and channels preserve the supported PCM samples. For WAV/AIFF output, choose a bit depth at least as high as the source. Changing sample rate, channels or reducing bit depth changes the samples.

Format compatibility and settings

Input must be standard mono/stereo 16/24-bit PCM AIFF; compressed AIFC is not supported. WAV output uses little-endian integer PCM. It is suited to editors that need uncompressed samples but can be much larger than compressed audio. Choose 24-bit to preserve supported PCM precision.

Local processing and practical limits

The audio engine loads when needed and processes one file at a time in a worker. No upload server is involved. Cancel stops the worker. Download and clear results to release memory. Tags and artwork are omitted.

GOOD TO KNOW

Audio conversion questions.

How do I convert AIFF to WAV?

Choose files, adjust the output settings and press Convert. Download each result or use Download All for a ZIP. All conversion happens on your device.

Does conversion affect audio quality?

When should I choose WAV?

Are files or metadata uploaded?

No. File names, audio bytes, duration, metadata and decoded samples stay on your device. Conversion removes tags and artwork. Engine downloads and separate advertising requests may appear in your Network panel.

Which files and browsers work?

Use a browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers. This version supports mono/stereo PCM WAV (8, 16 or 24-bit), native FLAC (8, 16 or 24-bit), standard PCM AIFF (16 or 24-bit, not AIFC), MPEG Layer III MP3 input (CBR/VBR), single-stream Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Opus. MP3 output supports CBR/VBR at 44.1 or 48 kHz. Inputs are limited to 32 MB, 10 minutes and 64 MB of decoded PCM. Batch results are limited to 64 MB. Encrypted, chained and multichannel recordings are not supported.
