Frequently Asked Questions

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is Apple's uncompressed audio format, developed in 1988. It's the Mac equivalent of WAV and stores CD-quality audio without compression. AIFF was the standard for professional Mac audio before modern formats emerged.

WAV has broader software and hardware support than AIFF, especially on Windows and Linux. Many audio editors, DAWs, and video production tools prefer WAV. Converting ensures your Mac audio works seamlessly in cross-platform workflows.

Yes! Both AIFF and WAV are uncompressed PCM formats. Converting between them preserves every sample with zero quality loss. The only difference is the container format—the actual audio data remains bit-perfect.

Audio quality is identical in both formats. WAV has wider compatibility across platforms and software. AIFF stores metadata more elegantly and integrates better with Apple ecosystems. For cross-platform work, WAV is the practical choice.

Windows Media Player has limited AIFF support, and many Windows applications don't recognize AIFF files. Converting to WAV ensures full compatibility with Windows software and avoids playback issues.

Basic metadata (title, artist, album) is preserved when possible. However, some AIFF-specific metadata chunks may not transfer perfectly to WAV format. Audio data itself remains completely intact.

This tool handles both standard AIFF and AIFF-C (compressed) files. Compressed AIFF files are decoded and output as standard uncompressed WAV. This may result in larger output files if your source was compressed.

Yes, but that would be lossy compression. If you need smaller files, consider our AIFF to MP3 converter (convert AIFF to WAV first, then WAV to MP3). For editing purposes, stay with lossless WAV.

All standard sample rates (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, etc.) and bit depths (16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit) are preserved during conversion. The output WAV matches the source AIFF specifications exactly.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your audio files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
