AAC vs AIFF Format Comparison

Aspect	AAC (Source Format)	AIFF (Target Format)
Format Overview	AAC Advanced Audio Coding AAC is a lossy digital audio compression format designed as the successor to MP3, offering better sound quality at similar bit rates. Widely used in streaming, digital music stores, and mobile devices. Lossy Compressed	AIFF Audio Interchange File Format AIFF is an uncompressed, lossless audio file format developed by Apple in 1988. It stores pulse‑code modulation (PCM) data and is widely used in professional audio environments. Lossless Uncompressed
Technical Specifications	Sample Rates: 8kHz - 96kHz Bit Rate Modes: CBR, VBR Profiles: LC, HE, HEv2, LD, ELD Max Channels: Up to 48 channels Extensions: .aac, .m4a, .mp4, .3gp	Sample Rates: 8kHz - 192kHz Bit Depths: 8, 16, 24, 32-bit Encoding: Linear PCM Max Channels: Up to 8 channels Extensions: .aiff, .aif, .aifc
Advantages	High audio quality at the same bitrates as MP3 Supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) Low computational complexity for decoding Wide support on modern devices	Lossless compression – no audio data is discarded High fidelity suitable for professional audio work Simple PCM structure – easy to read and process Wide support in digital audio workstations (DAWs)
Disadvantages	Lossy compression—some audio data is permanently discarded Limited compatibility with older devices Commercial licensing may apply	Very large file sizes compared to lossy formats No built‑in metadata support beyond basic chunks Less efficient for streaming or portable use Proprietary specification – licensing considerations
Compatibility	Excellent: iOS, Spotify, YouTube, Modern Android Good: VLC, Windows Media Player, Modern browsers Limited: Older car stereos, Legacy audio equipment	Excellent: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Adobe Audition, Most DAWs Good: QuickTime Player, VLC, iTunes, Modern OS Limited: Web browsers by default, Some mobile devices
Common Uses	Music streaming (Spotify, Apple Music) Digital downloads (iTunes Store) Podcasts and audiobooks Audio tracks for video files	Professional audio recording and editing Mastering and archiving high‑quality audio Broadcast production Sound design and film post‑production

Why Convert AAC to AIFF?

Converting from AAC to AIFF transforms your compressed audio files into high-quality, uncompressed format ideal for professional audio work. While AAC files are smaller and perfect for streaming, AIFF provides lossless quality essential for audio editing, mastering, and archival purposes. This conversion is particularly useful when moving from consumer audio formats to professional audio production workflows.
