Convert WAV files to AAC free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. AAC compresses further, so the file gets noticeably smaller.
Add your WAV file
Drag the WAV file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
Confirm AAC as the output
AAC is already selected as the output format on this page. You can pick the bitrate — higher keeps more of the sound, lower makes a smaller file.
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Audio decodes and re-encodes in your browser — a normal song finishes in a few seconds.
Download the AAC file
When it finishes, download the AAC file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
Stores uncompressed, original-quality audio. There is no quality loss, but files are very large at roughly 10MB per minute.
A lossy format designed as MP3's successor, delivering better quality at the same file size. It is the default for iTunes, YouTube, and streaming services.
Yes. WAV to AAC conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the WAV file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
AAC uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible, and the file becomes far smaller.
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
