About the formats
AIFF
Audio Interchange File Format
AIFF is Apple’s uncompressed audio format, the Mac counterpart of WAV. Programs such as Logic and GarageBand use it.
MP3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III
MP3 is the most widespread audio format in the world. Lossy compression shrinks files to about a tenth of WAV, and it plays on every device.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting AIFF to MP3 free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
