FLAC delivers bit-perfect audio at roughly 50 to 60% of WAV's size, and it supports tags and album art that WAV lacks. Converting WAV to FLAC is the standard way to archive recordings, masters and CD rips while saving space.
Decoding a FLAC gives back the exact original WAV samples, so the conversion is completely reversible. Batch-convert a whole session by dropping all files at once.
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format): WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio exactly as it was recorded. It is the standard for audio editing, mastering and archiving, at the cost of large files (about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo). It is best for editing, mastering, DAWs and archiving.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec): FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV without discarding a single bit, so it decodes back to the identical original. It is best for lossless music libraries and audiophile listening.
In short: keep WAV when the priority is editing, mastering, DAWs and archiving, and switch to FLAC when the file is headed for lossless music libraries and audiophile listening. Need a different target? The full Audio Converter supports every format listed below.
