Why convert WAV to FLAC?

Use FLAC when you need compressed audio without a lossy output codec. Keep the WAV while checking the conversion result.

  • Why leave WAV. WAV files are large, and email and upload forms often limit their size.
  • Why use FLAC. FLAC suits music archives, lossless listening, and high-quality source files.
  • What you get. The output uses FLAC, a lossless audio format. Keep the source and check the converted recording before archiving. Keep the original. The converted file can differ in size and metadata, and some apps may still not play it.
  • Qualité. Converting WAV to FLAC usually keeps the sound, but the converter has no bit depth or sample rate setting. Check the result before you delete the original.
  • Your rights. Convert only files you own or have permission to use.
