How do I convert FLAC to WAV?
FLAC stores lossless audio compressed, but many audio editors, hardware, and CD tools want uncompressed WAV instead. Converting to WAV gives you the same lossless sound in the raw PCM format those tools handle directly.
Your WAV is ready
Download WAV
Upload your FLAC file and choose WAV as the output, then download it. Both FLAC and WAV are lossless, so the WAV holds bit-for-bit identical audio, it is just uncompressed. That makes the WAV significantly larger than the FLAC while sounding exactly the same.
How it works
1
Upload your FLAC file
Select or drag in the lossless FLAC track you want to convert.
2
Choose WAV as the output
Set WAV as the target to decode the FLAC into uncompressed PCM.
3
Download your WAV
Save the WAV, ready for editing, hardware playback, or CD burning.
Frequently asked questions
No. Both formats are lossless, so the WAV is bit-for-bit identical to the FLAC. The only change is that the audio is now uncompressed.
FLAC compresses audio losslessly to save space, while WAV stores it uncompressed. Decoding to WAV typically roughly doubles the file size with no change in sound.
Some editors, older hardware, and CD burning software accept WAV but not FLAC. Converting gives you a universally accepted uncompressed file without any quality loss.
Yes. Because both are lossless, you can re-compress the WAV to FLAC at any time and get audio identical to your original.
No. The conversion runs online with no signup and nothing to install, and your file is deleted after processing.
