Save the FLAC, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The WAV to FLAC 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. FLAC keeps full quality at about half the size of WAV. WAV is at home in recording, editing and mastering; FLAC is the usual choice for archiving music at full quality.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can 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.
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.
