AIFF (.aiff) · Max 20 MB
Runs in Firefox and Chrome on any Linux distro. No terminal commands. No package managers. AudioUtils uses WebAssembly to run the conversion engine locally. Your audio stays on your device.
If you prefer the command line, FFmpeg is an alternative. But AudioUtils is faster for quick one-off conversions.
AIFF is lossless. Converting to MP3 reduces file size at the cost of some audio data. Use a high bitrate to minimize loss. The output is identical regardless of which device or browser you use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AIFF?
Audio Interchange File Format. Apple's version of WAV. It stores uncompressed audio with support for metadata and album art. Common in Mac audio production.
How much smaller will the MP3 be?
About 80% smaller. A 40MB AIFF file becomes roughly 7-8MB as a 320kbps MP3.
Should I use AIFF or WAV for production?
Either works. AIFF has slightly better metadata support on Mac. WAV is more universal. Both are uncompressed with identical audio quality.
Is AIFF the same as Apple Lossless (ALAC)?
No. AIFF is uncompressed (like WAV). ALAC is lossless compressed (like FLAC). ALAC files are smaller but both preserve full quality.
