How to convert FLAC to WAV

  1. Add your FLAC files. Drag them onto the box above or click to choose them. You can add several at once.
  2. Check the target is WAV. It is already selected. Adjust the quality under Options if you want.
  3. Click Convert. The conversion runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded to a server.
  4. Download the WAV. When it finishes, click Download on each file.

When you need this

DJ software, samplers and editors that read WAV but not FLAC, or burning an audio CD.

FLAC vs WAV

FLAC

Lossless compression: bit-for-bit the same audio as a WAV, in roughly half the space. The standard for archiving CDs and hi-res music.

Best for: archiving, hi-fi listening and keeping a master copy without WAV-sized files.

WAV

Uncompressed PCM audio. Every sample is stored as-is, so there is nothing to decode and nothing lost — at the cost of roughly 10 MB per minute of stereo.

Best for: video editors, DAWs, samplers, broadcast and any tool that wants raw audio.

Will I lose quality?

No loss at all: both FLAC and WAV are lossless, so the audio is bit-for-bit identical. Only the way it is stored and the file size change.

Have a link instead of a file?

Paste it into the YouTube to WAV converter and skip the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert FLAC to WAV?
Drag the FLAC file onto the box above, check the target is WAV and click Convert. As soon as it finishes a Download button appears. Nothing to install, no account needed.
Is it free to convert FLAC to WAV?
Yes, completely: no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark. Your own browser does the conversion, so it costs us nothing and there is no reason to charge for it.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs inside your browser: the file is read and converted on your device and never leaves it. That is why it is safe for private or work recordings.
Will I lose quality?
No loss at all: both FLAC and WAV are lossless, so the audio is bit-for-bit identical. Only the way it is stored and the file size change.
Is there a file size limit?
Up to 1 GB per file. The limit is not a business one but the browser’s: all the work happens in its memory, and above that size some browsers close the tab. On a phone, stay well below it.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Add as many FLAC files as you like and they are converted one after another with a single click. Each one can go to a different format.
