How to Convert APE to WAV
Click inside the file drop area to upload your APE file or drag & drop it.
Locate your APE file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.
Select WAV as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.
Choose WAV based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.
Download the converted WAV file instantly after conversion.
Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your WAV file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.
You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

What is APE (Monkey's Audio)?
APE (Monkey's Audio) is a lossless audio compression format known for its excellent compression efficiency and perfect audio reproduction. Unlike lossy formats that permanently discard data, APE files retain all original audio information while still reducing file size, making them ideal for archiving music collections and audiophile listening. APE files use the .ape extension.
Monkey's Audio achieves high compression ratios while maintaining bit-perfect audio quality, resulting in files that are typically 40-60% smaller than uncompressed WAV files. The format supports metadata tags for organizing music libraries and is particularly popular among audio enthusiasts who prioritize sound quality over file size.
How to open APE?
Opening APE files requires specialized software as the format isn't as widely supported as MP3 or FLAC. On Windows, foobar2000, Monkey's Audio's own player, and VLC Media Player offer native APE support. For Mac, applications like VLC and Cog can handle APE playback.
For mobile devices, specialized music players like Neutron Music Player and AIMP support the APE format. If you encounter playback issues, consider converting APE files to more universally supported formats like FLAC, which maintains the lossless quality while offering broader compatibility across devices and players.
