Convert FLAC to WAV.
Decode FLAC into uncompressed WAV with zero quality loss — the format every DAW, CD burner and DJ deck accepts. Converted with a local engine, private, and auto-deleted after 1 hour.
Lossless in, lossless out
FLAC is compressed lossless audio and WAV is uncompressed lossless audio — both hold the exact same samples, so decoding FLAC to WAV throws nothing away. You're not re-encoding or degrading anything; you're just unpacking the audio into the format more tools accept.
When you need WAV
Reach for WAV when a tool won't take FLAC: many DAWs and samplers import WAV most reliably, CD-burning software expects PCM/WAV, and a lot of DJ and hardware players only read WAV or MP3. It's the safe, no-questions-asked handoff format for a lossless master.
Mind the file size
The trade-off is size — a WAV is usually roughly twice the size of the same FLAC. When you're done working and want to archive at full quality, compress it straight back with WAV to FLAC.

FLAC to WAV: no added loss
WAV is a lossless format, so encoding into it adds no further quality loss. Note that if FLAC was already lossy (like MP3 or AAC), detail discarded earlier can't be brought back — the WAV is faithful to the FLAC, just larger.

Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes — convert FLAC to WAV free, with no signup.
Is my file private?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are converted, and auto-delete after 1 hour.
Do I lose any quality?+
No. FLAC is lossless compression, so decoding it to WAV gives back the exact original samples — the two files sound identical. The WAV is just larger because it isn't compressed.
Why would I want WAV instead of FLAC?+
WAV is the universal uncompressed format. Some DAWs, CD-burning tools, samplers and older/DJ hardware won't read FLAC but always accept WAV.
