About the formats

AAC, the successor to MP3

AAC is the lossy audio codec that replaced MP3; this file is “raw” AAC, without a container (ADTS).

Strengths: At the same size it sounds better than an MP3 and almost every device understands it.

Limits: Without a container it holds no artwork or tags, and some programs prefer M4A.

WAV, uncompressed audio

WAV stores sound as it is, uncompressed: every audio sample stays intact.

Strengths: It is the working format of audio editors and many professional devices.

Limits: It is huge: one minute at CD quality weighs about 10 MB.

Frequently asked questions

Is my AAC uploaded to a server to turn it into WAV?

No. The AAC to WAV conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Do I lose quality going from AAC to WAV?

No: WAV stores audio losslessly (any loss already in the AAC cannot be recovered).

Is there a size limit?

Up to 2 GB on desktop and 500 MB on mobile (less on low-memory devices), and up to 12 hours of audio on desktop. If it is over, you are told before it starts.

Can I convert several AAC files at once?

Yes. Drop as many AAC files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each WAV or all of them in a ZIP.
