How AIFF to WAV conversion works
The AIFF file format stores data in the AIFF format. Converting to WAV produces an audio file that stores uncompressed PCM audio samples at full bit depth, giving lossless fidelity at the cost of large file sizes. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Metadata such as creation date is preserved where the target format supports it; features the target format cannot represent are dropped. This makes WAV the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
Quality levels for AIFF → WAV
| Level | File size | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Low qualitySmallest file, basic quality | Very small | Very fast |
| Medium qualityRecommendedBalanced size and quality | Medium | Fast |
| High qualityLarger file, great quality | Large | Moderate |
| Maximum qualityLargest file, best possible quality | Very large | Slow |
Audio Tip: For music, High quality (320kbps) is recommended. Medium quality works well for podcasts and voice recordings.
When to convert
What the WAV file is good for and why people convert to it.
- Keeps audio lossless: both formats can store PCM without compression
- Better compatibility with Windows apps and media pipelines that expect WAV
- Exporting audio from macOS workflows for Windows-based editing
- Preparing master stems for mixing/rendering systems that ingest WAV
Where your file goes
- It travels to our server over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is converted there.
- The WAV file comes back as a private link. It stops working after 24 hours on Free and 7 days on paid plans, and then the files are deleted.
