While converting AAC to WAV will not recover audio data lost during the original compression, it creates a lossless container that prevents further degradation. This can be useful for archival or when your workflow requires lossless input files.
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding, introduced in 1997) uses Lossy (MDCT-based with TNS and PNS tools) compression. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format, introduced in 1991) uses None (raw PCM) or optional IEEE float compression. AAC browser support: Universal. WAV browser support: Universal.
Converting from AAC (lossy) to WAV (lossless) will not recover quality that was lost during the original AAC compression. The conversion preserves the current state of the file without further degradation. The resulting WAV file will be larger than the AAC original.
Typical AAC file size: A 4-minute song at 256 kbps AAC-LC: ~7.3 MB. Typical WAV file size: A 4-minute song at 44.1 kHz/16-bit stereo: ~40 MB. The WAV output will be larger than the AAC input because lossless compression cannot match the compression ratios of lossy formats.
For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
