WAV to AAC converter
Turn WAV files into AAC for free. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your audios are never uploaded anywhere.
How to convert WAV to AAC
- Add your WAV files. Drop one or more .wav files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first audio you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the AAC. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a WAV file?
WAV is uncompressed audio: exactly what the microphone or instrument produced, used in studios and for editing.
What is AAC?
AAC is the audio codec used by YouTube, iTunes and most video. Raw .aac files often come out of recorders and downloads.
Why convert WAV to AAC?
WAV is great for editing, mixing and archiving without loss, but about ten times bigger than MP3. AAC is the better choice for good sound at small sizes; keep in mind raw .aac files won't play in many apps, players and cars.
Will I lose quality?
AAC uses lossy compression tuned so the difference is invisible to the ear at normal use. We use high-quality settings by default.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your audios never leave your phone or computer.
Questions
Is this WAV to AAC converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my WAV files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I convert WAV to AAC on iPhone or Android?
Yes, in a modern browser. Phones are slower than computers for video, and very long videos can run out of memory on older phones.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit, but your browser has to hold the whole file in memory, so files over about 2 GB may fail.
