How to use FLAC to WAV Converter
- Drop one or more FLAC files into the box.
- Wait a moment while they are decoded.
- Download each WAV, or all of them as a ZIP.
About this tool
FLAC is a lossless compressed format that keeps full quality at about half the size of WAV. WAV stores raw samples, which is why editors, DAWs and hardware samplers prefer it as an input.
The converter decodes the FLAC file with your browser and writes a 16-bit PCM WAV at the original sample rate. WAV files are much larger than FLAC: a minute of stereo audio is about 10 MB.
The conversion is lossless.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is the WAV so much bigger?
- WAV is uncompressed. Stereo CD-quality audio takes about 10 MB per minute.
- What sample rate and bit depth are used?
- The original sample rate is kept and the output is 16-bit PCM, the same as CD audio.
- Is there a size limit?
- Files up to 100 MB are accepted, and very long files need a lot of memory because they are decoded fully.
