FLAC (.flac) · 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 FLAC to WAV conversion lossless?
Yes, completely. FLAC is a lossless format, so converting to WAV produces a bit-identical copy of the original audio. No quality is lost.
Why would I convert FLAC to WAV?
Professional audio tools (Pro Tools, some hardware samplers) sometimes require WAV. Also useful for CD burning and audio editing workflows.
Will the file be larger?
Yes. WAV is uncompressed, so files roughly double in size compared to FLAC. A 25MB FLAC file becomes about 50MB as WAV.
Can I convert back to FLAC later?
Absolutely. Since both formats are lossless, you can convert back and forth without any quality degradation.
