AIFF (.aiff) · Max 20 MB
Edit your podcast in WAV to avoid generation loss. Export to a lossy format only as the final step before uploading to your host.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AIFF to WAV lossless?
Yes, 100%. Both formats store uncompressed audio. Converting between them changes only the container, not the audio data.
Why not just use AIFF everywhere?
WAV has broader support, especially on Windows and in cross-platform tools. AIFF is primarily a Mac format.
Are the file sizes the same?
Nearly identical. Both store uncompressed audio. You might see a tiny difference due to header/metadata formatting, but audio data size is the same.
Which format supports better metadata?
AIFF has better built-in metadata support. WAV traditionally has limited metadata, though modern tools handle this well with ID3 tags in WAV.
