How to Convert WAV to FLAC

1. Upload your WAV file

Drag a file onto the box above, or click to browse.

2. FLAC is selected

FLAC is lossless, so there's no bitrate to choose — the quality setting doesn't apply.

3. Convert & download

Click Convert & Download. Your FLAC file downloads automatically.

Why Convert WAV to FLAC?

FLAC is lossless compression — it shrinks a WAV by roughly 40–60% without losing anything, and reconstructs the exact original waveform on playback. So a FLAC made from a WAV is bit-for-bit identical audio in about half the space, with proper tags and artwork (which WAV handles poorly). It's the best way to archive a lossless library.
