What happens when you convert FLAC to WAV
- Both formats are lossless, so the sound stays identical.
- WAV files are saved as 16-bit audio, the same quality as a CD.
- WAV is uncompressed: about 10 MB per minute of stereo audio.
- Mono and stereo are kept (or choose either); surround sound is mixed down to stereo.
- Tags such as title, artist and cover art aren't copied yet.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many FLAC files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting FLAC to WAV reduce quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, so the audio is identical.
Are tags and cover art kept?
Not yet. The sound is converted, but title, artist and album art aren't copied.
