How do I convert a WAV file to CAF?

Upload your WAV file, choose CAF as the output format, and click Convert. The tool re-wraps the audio stream into Core Audio Format, preserving the original PCM sample rate and bit depth. Download the resulting CAF file instantly.

Why convert WAV to CAF instead of keeping WAV?

CAF is Apple's container format, designed for iOS and macOS apps like GarageBand and Xcode. It supports large file sizes without the 4GB limit of WAV, and can embed richer metadata such as channel descriptions and edit timestamps. Converting to CAF ensures compatibility with Apple's audio APIs and avoids frequent file size issues in professional audio workflows.

Does WAV to CAF conversion affect audio quality or metadata?

The conversion performs a 're-mux' operation: original PCM audio data is copied verbatim into the CAF container without re-encoding, preserving exact sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout. ID3 tags or iTunes-style metadata in WAV are translated to CAF's native metadata structures, so no audio information or standard tags are lost.
