How do I convert an AAC file to RAW?

Upload your AAC file, choose RAW as the output format, then click Convert. The converter decodes the AAC bitstream and writes the PCM samples to a .raw file. You can adjust sample rate, bit depth, or channel settings if you need a specific output; by default it preserves the original AAC settings.

Why should I convert AAC to RAW instead of using AAC directly?

AAC is a lossy compressed format—it keeps only a subset of the original audio data to save space. RAW is an uncompressed PCM format, often used in audio editing suites, digital audio workstations (DAWs), and custom audio pipelines. Converting to RAW gives you a bit-for-bit representation of the decoded AAC audio, making it easier to edit, analyze, or integrate into systems that don't natively support AAC. You don't lose any more quality than the original AAC already contains.

What audio attributes are preserved when converting AAC to RAW?

The converter preserves the original bit depth, sample rate, and channel count from the AAC file during decode. It does not re-encode or apply lossy processing, so the RAW output contains the exact PCM samples the AAC decoder produces. However, note that AAC is a lossy format, so any information lost during the original compression (e.g., high-frequency detail beyond the AAC bitrate) is absent from the RAW file.
