Convert FLAC to WAV
100% private — runs on your device, never uploaded. Works offline once loaded.
Both formats hold exactly the same audio — FLAC simply stores it more efficiently — so this conversion loses nothing at all. You need it when something refuses to read FLAC: older DJ software, some game engines, certain editing suites, a few hardware players and plenty of scripts that expect a plain WAV header and nothing clever. The file roughly doubles in size, which is the whole reason FLAC exists, so it is worth doing for the job at hand rather than for the archive. Keep the FLAC as the master; convert a WAV copy when a particular piece of software demands one.
Frequently asked questions
Does this lose any quality?
None. FLAC is lossless, so the WAV contains exactly the same samples — it just stores them without compression.
Why is the WAV so much bigger?
Because nothing is compressed. FLAC typically halves the size; converting back undoes that saving.
Is my file uploaded?
No — it is converted in your browser.
