How do I convert WMA to AIFF?

Add your WMA file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The AIFF file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to AIFF reduce quality?

No. AIFF is a lossless format, so the conversion preserves exactly what is in your WMA file. Note that it cannot recover detail that was already discarded when the WMA was first created — a lossless container does not undo earlier compression.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 300 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

WMA and AIFF explained

WMA is Microsoft's audio format from the Windows Media era. It is functionally obsolete and some older files carry DRM that prevents conversion.

AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, functionally equivalent to WAV but with better metadata support and big-endian byte order.

Where WMA files come from: Music ripped on Windows in the 2000s.
Where AIFF is used: Mac audio production and older Apple software.

WMA vs AIFF

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

WMA compared with AIFF
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Lossy	Uncompressed
Introduced	1999	1988
Browser support	Windows only. Convert for anything else.	Strong on Apple, decent elsewhere.

WMA is stronger at: Reasonable quality for its time.
AIFF is stronger at: Uncompressed and lossless. Better metadata handling than WAV. Standard in Mac audio workflows.

Why convert WMA to AIFF?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of WMA: always — convert to MP3 to keep the audio usable. AIFF is the better fit when audio production on a Mac.

Be aware of the size trade-off: AIFF is uncompressed, so expect the converted file to be considerably larger than the WMA you started with.

WMA limitations that prompt the switch: Windows-only in practice. No browser or mobile support worth relying on. DRM-protected files cannot be converted at all.
What you give up: Very large files. Less universally supported than WAV.

Does converting WMA to AIFF reduce quality?

Going from WMA to AIFF moves already-compressed data into a format that stores it exactly. Nothing is lost from this point on, but nothing is recovered either — the detail WMA discarded when the file was first created is gone permanently. Expect a noticeably larger file for identical visual quality.
