How to Convert WAV to AAC

STEP 1

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

Locate your WAV 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 AAC as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose AAC 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 AAC file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your AAC 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.

Q: Is it safe to convert AAC files on RunConvert?

Q: Can RunConvert convert AAC to MP3 for my old MP3 player?

A: You got it! AAC is great, but some older players only vibe with MP3. RunConvert can switch it in a flash—just upload and pick MP3. It’s like turning a new hit into a classic tune. Got a stubborn device? RunConvert’s your go-to.

Q: Can I convert audio to video formats?

A: Not exactly. While RunConvert handles audio-to-audio conversion, for audio-to-video conversion (like turning your audio into a video file with visuals), you’ll need a video editing tool. Afterward, you can upload it and convert the audio portion!

Q: Is there a limit to how big my audio file can be?

A: While we support large files, it's always a good idea to keep your audio file under 200MB to ensure a smooth conversion. Large files might take a little longer, but don't worry—RunConvert will handle it!

Q: Can I trim my audio before converting it?

A: Currently, trimming isn’t part of the conversion process, but you can easily trim your audio file before uploading it. Many free tools out there let you do that quickly, and then you can convert it.

Q: How do I make my converted audio file smaller?

A: You can try converting to a more compressed format like MP3 or OGG, which reduces the file size without sacrificing too much quality. Smaller files are easier to share and store—perfect for quick uploads!

Q: What’s the difference between MP3 and OGG formats?

A: Both MP3 and OGG are great for audio compression, but OGG tends to offer better sound quality at smaller file sizes. MP3, however, is more universally accepted. It really comes down to what you prioritize—sound quality or compatibility.

Q: Can I convert podcasts or audio recordings?

A: Of course! Whether it’s a podcast episode or a recording of your latest ideas, you can convert it into the format you need. Audio is audio, and RunConvert can handle it.
