Convert FLAC to WAV

Upload a FLAC file and convert it to WAV — all in your browser.

What happens when you convert FLAC to WAV

FLAC stores audio losslessly in a compressed form. Converting to WAV unpacks that audio into plain, uncompressed PCM. For standard 16-bit files the audio that comes out is identical to what went in, sample for sample. Expect the WAV to be roughly twice the size of the FLAC.

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device, there is no upload step, and a full album converts in seconds on a modern machine.

When WAV is the right choice

WAV is the safest format to feed into audio editors, DAWs, samplers, and CD burning software. Some older or stricter programs refuse FLAC but accept WAV without complaint. WAV is also the common request when you submit audio for mastering or broadcast.

One thing to know: this tool writes 16-bit WAV. If you are converting 24-bit FLAC masters and need to keep the full bit depth, use the bit depth tool instead and pick 24-bit output.

Frequently asked questions

Is there any quality loss?

No. FLAC is lossless, so decoding it to WAV reproduces the original audio exactly. The file just gets larger because WAV does not compress anything.

Why is the WAV file so much bigger than the FLAC?

FLAC typically shrinks audio to about half its raw size without losing anything. WAV stores the raw samples directly, so the size roughly doubles back.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion happens locally in your browser using its built-in media engine. Your audio never leaves your device.
