Convert WAV files to FLAC free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. FLAC keeps full quality with no further loss.
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 FLAC as the output
FLAC 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 FLAC file
When it finishes, download the FLAC 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 lossless format that preserves 100% of the original quality while roughly halving the size of a WAV. It is the standard among audiophiles.
Yes. WAV to FLAC 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.
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
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.
