WAV to FLAC: cut the weight in half with zero loss
WAV and FLAC are both lossless audio formats: the conversion never degrades quality. The difference is size — FLAC compresses algorithmically, typically halving the file size. A 40 MB WAV becomes an 18–22 MB FLAC with strictly identical sound. Always check the output file before sharing it.
Ideal for studio-grade music archival
For archiving original recordings, masters, or CD rips, FLAC is the reference format: compact, lossless, with rich metadata (Vorbis tags) that a plain WAV cannot embed cleanly. Convert WAV files to FLAC online. Choose a file, run the conversion, then check the result before downloading it.
Supported by most audio software
Foobar, VLC, Audacity, Ableton, Logic Pro, and most audiophile hardware players open FLAC natively. Only the mainstream Apple ecosystem stays holdout (iTunes doesn’t open FLAC without prior conversion). Keep the original until you have approved the result. Convert WAV files to FLAC online.
