How do I convert a FLAC file to AIFF?

First, upload your FLAC file to our online converter. Then, select AIFF as the output format. Click 'Convert' and the tool will decode the FLAC stream and re-encode it as an uncompressed PCM AIFF file, preserving the original sample rate and bit depth. Once completed, download your AIFF file.

Why should I convert FLAC to AIFF instead of keeping FLAC?

FLAC is a lossless compressed format that reduces file size, but it is not natively supported in Apple's macOS, iOS, older iTunes versions, or professional audio suites like Pro Tools and Logic Pro. AIFF, being an uncompressed PCM format, is the standard on those platforms, ensuring instant compatibility without needing extra codecs. The conversion does not degrade audio quality because FLAC is lossless.

What happens to sample rate, bit depth, and metadata during FLAC to AIFF conversion?

The converter reproduces the exact PCM bitstream from the FLAC file, so sample rate (e.g., 44.1 kHz, 96 kHz) and bit depth (16-bit, 24-bit) remain unchanged. Metadata like track title, artist, album, and cover art are copied into the AIFF file's chunks; however, if your FLAC file uses custom tags, they may not map perfectly to AIFF's standard fields, so it's advisable to check the tags after conversion.
