APE to WAV

About APE

Lossless

Monkey's Audio

Monkey's Audio lossless format

APE (Monkey's Audio) is a lossless format that compresses slightly better than FLAC. It is popular for CD rips in some music communities.

Strengths
Lossless, with excellent compression.
Limitations
Slow to decode, and barely supported by phones, car stereos and most players.

About WAV

Lossless

Waveform Audio File Format

Uncompressed studio audio

WAV stores raw PCM audio exactly as it was recorded, without compression. It is the standard working format of audio editors, music production software and broadcasting.

Strengths
Perfect quality, instant to decode, and accepted by all editing software.
Limitations
Very large files (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality) and limited support for tags.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert APE to WAV?

Add your APE files to the converter above. WAV is already selected as the output, so conversion starts right away. When a file is ready, click Download, or use Download all to get a ZIP.

Will converting APE to WAV reduce the sound quality?

No. Both APE and WAV are lossless, so the audio stays identical, bit for bit. Only the file size and compatibility change.

Which settings should I use for WAV?

16-bit is CD quality and works everywhere. Pick 24-bit only for high-resolution sources or if you will keep editing the audio. Keep the original sample rate unless a program requires 44.1 or 48 kHz.

Are my APE files uploaded anywhere?

No. The APE to WAV conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a server, so even private recordings stay on your device.

Can I convert several APE files to WAV at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 files; they are converted one after another, and you can download each WAV file separately or all of them together as a ZIP archive.
