About This Tool
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) and WAV are both lossless audio formats that preserve every detail of the original recording. While FLAC uses compression to reduce file size, WAV stores raw, uncompressed audio data — making it the standard format for digital audio workstations (DAWs), CD burning, and professional audio workflows. Converting FLAC to WAV is essential when your software or hardware doesn't support FLAC natively, or when you need uncompressed audio for editing, mastering, or burning to CD. Since both formats are lossless, the conversion preserves 100% of the original audio quality. All processing happens directly in your browser using WebAssembly technology — your audio files are never uploaded to any server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any quality loss when converting FLAC to WAV?
No. Both FLAC and WAV are lossless audio formats. FLAC uses lossless compression (like a ZIP file for audio), while WAV stores raw uncompressed data. Converting between them preserves 100% of the original audio quality — no data is lost.
Why is the WAV file larger than the FLAC file?
FLAC uses lossless compression to reduce file size by 30-60% compared to raw audio, while WAV stores completely uncompressed data. A typical 30 MB FLAC file may produce a 70-100 MB WAV file, even though both contain identical audio data.
Why would I convert FLAC to WAV?
WAV is universally supported by virtually all audio software, DAWs (like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton), CD burning applications, and hardware players. Some professional workflows and older systems require WAV format since they don't support FLAC natively.
Can I use WAV files for CD burning?
Yes. WAV is the standard format for audio CDs. When burning an audio CD, most software requires or prefers WAV files at 16-bit, 44.1 kHz — which is the Red Book CD audio standard.
Are my audio files secure during conversion?
Yes! All conversion happens locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your audio files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
