Drop WAV 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.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the AAC, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The WAV to AAC converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your audio files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
WAV files are about ten times larger than an MP3 of the same recording. AAC is more efficient than MP3 at the same bitrate. WAV is at home in recording, editing and mastering; AAC is the usual choice for efficient audio for streaming and video soundtracks. AAC is lossy, so keep the WAV original if you may need full quality later.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate and trim the start and end.
The conversion uses your browser's own video and audio codecs (WebCodecs), with hardware acceleration where the device has it; the file is read from disk as it goes and can be up to 2 GB. Where the browser lacks a codec, the page falls back to the compatibility engine. AAC is written at 192 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.
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.

WAV converterAAC was designed as the successor to MP3 and is the audio codec inside most MP4 videos and streaming services. A bare .aac file is the raw stream without a container, which some players handle poorly.

No. The WAV to AAC conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
AAC is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can choose the bitrate under Options.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
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 WAV file, press Convert and save the AAC. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
