FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open source lossless audio format that offers exact audio reproduction while reducing file size by about 50-60% compared to uncompressed audio.
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM that provides perfect audio quality without any compression.
Both FLAC and WAV preserve 100% of the original audio data, but FLAC uses lossless compression to reduce file size while WAV stores the raw audio data uncompressed.
WAV is universally supported by virtually all audio software, hardware, and operating systems, making it the most compatible audio format available.
Converting FLAC to WAV involves transcoding from a compressed lossless format to an uncompressed format. The conversion simply decodes the FLAC file to PCM audio and stores it in the WAV container.
WAV files are typically 2-3 times larger than the original FLAC files, as they store raw audio data without any compression.
WAV supports various bit depths (16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit) and sample rates (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, etc.), making it suitable for high-resolution audio.
This conversion is especially useful for professional audio work, editing in DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), and compatibility with software or hardware that doesn't support FLAC.
WAV files can contain metadata but not as extensively as FLAC files, which might result in some loss of tag information during conversion.
Pro Tip: Converting from FLAC to WAV is ideal for audio editing in professional software, using with hardware that doesn't support FLAC, or when perfect compatibility is needed. While WAV files are larger, they offer the same audio quality as FLAC with maximum compatibility.
WAV is an uncompressed audio format that provides perfect audio quality. Converting from FLAC to WAV is ideal for professional audio work, editing, and compatibility with software or hardware that doesn't support FLAC.
