About Converting AIFF to WAV

AIFF is Apple’s uncompressed, lossless audio format — the Mac counterpart to WAV. It stores the full raw waveform, making it a studio standard for editing and mastering on macOS at the cost of large files. When you need to move away from AIFF, the usual reason is simple: very large files.

Converting your AIFF audio file to WAV solves that. WAV is an uncompressed, lossless audio format that stores the full raw waveform. It is the studio standard for editing and mastering, at the cost of large files. In practice you gain uncompressed, lossless quality and standard for editing/mastering. PrivConvert runs the whole AIFF-to-WAV conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the WAV is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.

When this conversion helps

  • You need uncompressed, lossless quality
  • You need standard for editing/mastering
  • You need no encoding artifacts
  • Sharing a AIFF audio file with someone whose software expects WAV

Tips for best results

  • WAV preserves quality exactly, so the conversion from AIFF will not introduce any new compression artifacts.
  • Files up to 250 MB are supported, and you can batch-convert several AIFF files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.
