Why convert AAC to WAV?
Some DAWs and video editors only accept WAV files. Converting your AAC to WAV gives you a file that opens in every professional application. Note: this wraps the existing compressed audio in a WAV container — it doesn't recover detail AAC discarded, but no further quality is lost.
AAC vs WAV at a glance
AAC is the successor to MP3 — better quality at the same bit rate, used by Apple Music, YouTube and most streaming platforms. WAV is the lossless audio standard — uncompressed PCM audio, identical quality every time, but files are 10× larger than MP3.
