How to convert AIFF to WAV
Add your AIFF audio files
Drop AIFF (AIF) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

AIFF to WAV: what to expect
AIFF files are very large and are not played by many phones or websites. WAV is uncompressed, so audio editors and transcription tools accept it without fuss. AIFF is at home in audio production on the Mac; WAV is the usual choice for recording, editing and mastering.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can trim the start and end.
This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because AIFF is not handled by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB.
AIFF vs WAV
WAV
WAV audio
WAV stores audio as raw, uncompressed samples. Nothing is lost, which makes it the standard working format in audio editing, and files run to about 10 MB per minute at CD quality.

Questions
Are my audio files uploaded anywhere?
No. The AIFF to WAV conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Does converting AIFF to WAV reduce quality?
Nothing is lost: WAV is uncompressed. It is written as 16-bit audio, the same as a CD, or at the AIFF file's own bit depth when that is greater.
Can I convert several AIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
How do I convert AIFF to WAV on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the AIFF file, press Convert and save the WAV. There is nothing to install.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. AIFF to WAV runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
