How to convert WAV to FLAC

Open a WAV, or a folder of them, and save each one as FLAC: the same sound, sample for sample, in about half the space. It's how musicians and archivists keep recordings. The WAV to FLAC converter runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

  1. Step 1

    Choose your WAV files
    Pick one or many, or drop them into the converter above.
  2. Step 2

    Keep FLAC
    FLAC is selected; choose another audio format if you need one.
  3. Step 3

    Download the FLAC
    Save each file when it's converted.

What to expect

Supported inputs
WAV files at any sample rate and bit depth, and any other audio or video file.
What happens
The sound is compressed losslessly as FLAC. FLAC is selected first; you can choose another audio format.
Limits
Very long recordings depend on your device's memory.

Questions

Yes. Decoding the FLAC gives back every sample of the WAV, like a ZIP file for sound.

Usually 40 to 60% of the WAV. Quiet recordings and speech shrink more than loud music.
