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.
WAV
Waveform Audio File Format
WAV usually stores audio with no compression at all (PCM). It is the lossless source for studio recording and editing, and its files are large.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting AIFF to WAV 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.
