About AIFC and WAV Formats

What is AIFC?

AIFF-C is Apple's 1991 extension of AIFF that allows compressed audio. In practice most modern .aifc files from macOS contain uncompressed little-endian PCM, so quality matches WAV.

Commonly used for:

  • Audio exported from macOS apps
  • Apple system sounds
  • Legacy Mac audio archives

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert AIFC to WAV?

Many Windows programs and web tools do not recognise the .aifc extension; WAV is universally readable.
