    How It Works

    How to Convert FLAC to WAV

    STEP 1

    Click inside the file drop area to upload your FLAC file or drag & drop it.

    Locate your FLAC 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.

    STEP 2

    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.

    STEP 3

    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.

    STEP 4

    You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

    Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

    What is FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)?

    FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio compression format that allows for lossless compression of digital audio files. Unlike MP3 and other lossy formats, FLAC retains the full quality of the original audio while reducing the file size.

    How to open FLAC?

    FLAC files can be opened with various audio players such as VLC Media Player, Foobar2000, and Winamp. Many music players for smartphones, like Android's default player or Apple's Music app, also support FLAC.

    On macOS, players such as Audirvana or VLC can be used to play FLAC files. If you're using Windows, ensure that your audio player supports FLAC or install the appropriate codec.
