Convert FLAC to WAV

Decodes FLAC to uncompressed PCM for editors and hardware that need raw audio.

What to expect

Lossless in both directions, so nothing is lost. The file roughly doubles.

Why convert FLAC without uploading

Most online converters take your file, send it to their servers, convert it there and hand back a download link. That means your document sits on someone else's disk, subject to their retention policy and their breaches. It also means you cannot use them offline, and cannot use them at all for anything confidential.

frogConvert does the conversion in the page itself, with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. There is no upload step because there is no server. You can disconnect from the network and it still works.

About the formats

FLAC

Free Lossless Audio Codec compresses audio to roughly half its uncompressed size and decodes back bit-for-bit identical. The obvious choice for archiving a collection you may re-encode later. More about FLAC files.

WAV

Uncompressed PCM audio exactly as sampled, which is why it is the standard working format for recording and editing. A stereo CD-quality minute is about 10 MB. More about WAV files.
