How do I convert ALAC files to AIFF using LetsConvert?

Upload your ALAC file(s) to LetsConvert, choose AIFF as the output format, and click Convert. The tool extracts the audio data from the compressed ALAC container and repackages it into uncompressed AIFF PCM. Download the resulting AIFF files instantly. For batch conversion, select multiple ALAC files—the tool will process them sequentially, preserving each file's sample rate, bit depth, and metadata.

What's the difference between ALAC and AIFF, and why would I convert?

ALAC is a lossless compression codec that reduces file size without losing audio quality, but it's primarily supported by Apple ecosystem. AIFF is an uncompressed PCM format that's universally compatible with almost all audio software, including Pro Tools, Ableton, and older hardware. Converting from ALAC to AIFF un-bottles the audio into its raw form, making it accessible everywhere—but expect larger file sizes.

Does converting ALAC to AIFF degrade audio quality or metadata?

No. Both ALAC and AIFF are lossless, so the digital audio samples are bit-perfectly preserved during conversion. The sample rate, bit depth, and channel count remain unchanged. However, the file size increases significantly because AIFF stores audio as uncompressed PCM rather than compressed samples. Metadata like track titles and artist tags are carried over; if you're using original ALAC files from iTunes, tags are converted to AIFF-compatible chunks, though some Apple-specific custom tags might be dropped.
