Convert AIFF to WAV
Ethical Tube's free AIFF to WAV converter turns AIFF audio files into WAV, uncompressed audio for recording and editing. It runs entirely in your browser, so your audio files are never uploaded, and it's free with no sign-up or watermark. The first conversion downloads the FFmpeg engine (10 MB) once, and it's cached after that.
Files are converted on your device and never uploaded.

AIFF and WAV at a glance
What is an AIFF file?
AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, the Mac counterpart of WAV. It keeps a recording's full quality and is used in Logic Pro, GarageBand, and professional audio work, but files are large: about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo. It opens in Mac (Music, QuickTime, GarageBand, Logic Pro), iPhone, VLC, Audacity, and most audio editors on Windows.
What is a WAV file?
WAV is an uncompressed audio format from Microsoft and IBM. It keeps the full quality of a recording, which is why studios, podcasters, and editing apps use it, but one minute of CD-quality stereo takes about 10 MB. It opens in every computer and phone, every audio editor (Audacity, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Pro Tools), and all browsers.
Good to know
What changes when you convert AIFF to WAV
- Both formats are lossless, so the sound is identical.
- The audio is saved as uncompressed 16-bit WAV.
- AIFF files are converted with FFmpeg running in your browser.
- The first conversion downloads FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (10 MB). It's cached, so later visits start quickly.
- Copy-protected (DRM) files can't be converted.
- Very long videos can run out of memory, especially on phones.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this AIFF to WAV converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device. Once the page and the engine have loaded, it even works offline.
Does converting AIFF to WAV lose quality?
No. WAV is lossless, so nothing is lost in the conversion. It can't add back quality that wasn't in the source, though.
Can I convert several AIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each WAV file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes, in any current browser on a computer or phone. FFmpeg runs on your processor without hardware acceleration, so long videos are much faster on a computer.
What can open a WAV file?
Every computer and phone, every audio editor (Audacity, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Pro Tools), and all browsers.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and a computer can usually handle recordings several hours long.
