Format Details
FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that compresses audio without any loss of quality, allowing perfect bit-for-bit reconstruction of the original recording. It typically reduces file sizes by 40-60% compared to uncompressed WAV while remaining completely lossless. FLAC is the format of choice for audiophiles, music archivists, and mastering engineers who require studio-quality audio fidelity in a manageable file size.
WAV
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio container format developed by Microsoft and IBM for storing raw audio data. It preserves audio at full, lossless quality with no encoding artifacts, making it the preferred format for audio production, editing, and professional archival. WAV files are larger than compressed formats like MP3, but are universally supported and suffer no quality degradation when re-encoded.
