About FLAC and WAV Formats

What is FLAC?

FLAC is an open, royalty-free codec from the Xiph.Org Foundation, first released in 2001. It compresses audio losslessly, usually to 50-70% of the WAV size, and decodes back to a bit-identical copy.

Commonly used for:

  • Hi-res and CD-rip music archives
  • Lossless downloads from music stores
  • Audiophile playback

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 FLAC to WAV?

Some DAWs, hardware samplers, DJ gear and older software cannot read FLAC; WAV holds exactly the same audio in a format they all accept.
