FLAC is lossless compressed audio: half the size of WAV with exactly the same sound. Favoured by audiophiles, but many players and phones don’t support it. WAV is uncompressed audio. It sounds identical to the source but files are about ten times bigger than MP3 – the format audio editors and DAWs love.
Converting to WAV gives you uncompressed audio for editing in Audacity, GarageBand, Premiere and other tools. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your files are never uploaded and there’s no size limit beyond your device’s memory.
How to convert FLAC to WAV
- Choose your FLAC file.
- Pick the audio quality, and set a start and end time if you only need part of it.
- Press Convert and download the WAV.
