Convert AIFF to WAV
Convert AIFF to WAV on your device. Choose your file, convert, and check the result before sharing.
Drop your .aiff here

Processed on your device - nothing is uploaded.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Drop the aiff file
Drag your AIFF onto the page or click to browse. It is read locally, never sent anywhere.
2
Choose WAV
WAV output is always 16-bit PCM, so there is no quality or bitrate menu. Click Convert to start processing in this tab.
3
Save the wav
The finished WAV downloads straight back to your device. Nothing touched a server on the way.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Server converters receive your aiff on their disk. This one reads it in your browser and nowhere else.
Local conversion
The wav starts encoding the moment you drop the file - there is no upload phase at all.
No account, no daily cap
Convert every aiff you own, free. Nobody meters you, nobody asks for an account.
The two formats, briefly
| AIFF | AIFF is an audio container. This converter writes 16-bit PCM audio; a higher-bit-depth source can lose precision. | |
|---|---|---|
| WAV | WAV is a container commonly used for PCM audio. This converter writes 16-bit PCM; the source sample rate and channels are not deliberately changed. | |
When you need this
- Decode AIFF for an editor or workflow that asks for WAV PCM audio. This output is 16-bit, not an enhancement of the original recording, and can be much larger than compressed audio.
AIFF vs WAV: what changes
| AIFF | WAV | |
|---|---|---|
| Kind | Audio | Audio |
| Compression | 16-bit PCM output here | 16-bit PCM output here |
| Typical size | Depends on the file and encoding settings. | Measure the exported file; it may be larger. |
| Opens on | Check the source in your app and browser. | Check the downloaded file in the receiving app. |
| Best for | Keep the original as your source. | WAV workflows, subject to the limits below. |
Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- WAV output here is 16-bit PCM. There is no bitrate choice; converting a higher-bit-depth source can reduce precision.
- First use downloads the audio/video engine (about 30 MB). The input cap is 2 GB, but available browser memory can run out below that.
AIFF to WAV, answered
Why convert AIFF to WAV?+
Decode AIFF for an editor or workflow that asks for WAV PCM audio. This output is 16-bit, not an enhancement of the original recording, and can be much larger than compressed audio.
Which quality should I pick?+
WAV output here is 16-bit PCM. There is no bitrate choice; converting a higher-bit-depth source can reduce precision.
Does converting AIFF to WAV lose quality?+
The export uses 16-bit PCM. It cannot recover detail already lost in a compressed source, and a higher-bit-depth source is reduced to 16-bit. Keep the original if precision matters.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
No. EverywhereTrade has no server that receives files - the conversion code downloads once and runs entirely in this tab.
