    AAC vs WAV

    WAV is lossless, but it can't restore detail already removed by AAC's compression — the file just gets bigger. Convert when an app or editor requires WAV.

    About AAC and WAV

    AAC: AAC is the successor to MP3 and the audio codec behind YouTube, iTunes and most streaming services. A .aac file stores the raw AAC stream without an MP4 wrapper.

    WAV: WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so it keeps every bit of the original sound. Files are large, but WAV is the standard for audio editing, studios and professional software.
