FLAC to WAV
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
FLAC to WAV converts audio lossless FLAC to WAV PCM. Since FLAC stores audio data without loss of quality, the WAV results have the same quality as the source. The difference is mainly in size: WAVs are usually larger because they are not compressed. This conversion is useful when the device or editing app only supports WAV.
Key points
- FLAC is a lossless format that compresses audio without throwing out details
- WAV PCM stores audio without lossy compression
- Converting FLAC to WAV does not change the quality of the audio
- WAV sizes are generally larger than FLAC
- Sample rate and bit depth should be maintained so that the results are identical
