Questions
Does converting FLAC to WAV lose quality?
No. Both formats are lossless.
What is the WAV format?
A container that stores uncompressed PCM audio, the working format of recording studios because the samples are kept exactly as they were captured. Files grow fast, so it’s used for editing and mastering rather than for delivery.
What is the FLAC format?
A lossless codec: it compresses the same PCM data as WAV but the decoded samples are bit-identical to the source. It gets roughly half the size of uncompressed audio, and it’s the reference choice for archiving music.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
