About this tool
Converting WAV to AAC
WAV stores audio uncompressed — every sample bit-exact, editing-grade quality, at roughly ten times the size of MP3. AAC is the modern lossy successor to MP3 — better quality at the same size, and the standard audio codec of streaming platforms and mobile devices. Encoding uncompressed WAV into AAC captures the audio at a fraction of the size with quality the ear struggles to separate.
What to check after converting
Listen to a section you know well — the beginning, the loudest part — and compare it against the original file. Lossy re-encoding always applies: keep the original WAV file as the master if you may need a higher-quality conversion later. Your original file stays untouched on your device either way.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting WAV to AAC reduce the quality?
Lossy re-encoding applies a small additional quality step. At standard bitrates the difference is rarely audible; keep the original as your master regardless.
Is my audio file uploaded anywhere?
Small files convert entirely in your browser; larger ones finish on our servers and auto-delete within an hour. Either way, nothing is kept, shared, or used for anything else.
Why would I pick AAC over WAV?
Encoding uncompressed WAV into AAC captures the audio at a fraction of the size with quality the ear struggles to separate.
