Convert FLAC to WAV

A lossless file has to go into an audio editor, a CD burner or a piece of hardware that cannot decode FLAC.

    What actually changes

    FLAC and WAV are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    FLAC is decoded to the exact PCM samples it was made from. The result is bit-identical to the audio that was encoded, in a file roughly twice the size.

    Worth knowing first

    The audio survives perfectly and the tags mostly do not. FLAC carries rich Vorbis comments and embedded artwork; WAV's metadata support is an afterthought that many tools write and read inconsistently, so expect to re-tag afterwards.

    Questions

    FLAC to WAV, answered

    Is any quality lost?

    None. FLAC is lossless, so decoding returns exactly the original samples.

    Why is the WAV twice the size?

    FLAC typically compresses to 50 to 60 percent of the PCM size. Removing the compression restores the full size.
