WAV is a raw uncompressed audio format (PCM). Quality is perfect and it's the recording studio standard, but files are large — 10x MP3 for the same duration. However, WAV isn't always ideal — especially when you need AAC.
AAC brings the advantage: Best streaming efficiency — used by YouTube/Apple, high quality at low bitrate.
With FORMATTO, you can convert WAV to AAC in seconds. Everything runs 100% on your device — files are never uploaded to any server, so your privacy is guaranteed. Did you know? WAV stores every audio sample without compression, so 1 minute of stereo 44.1kHz is ~10 MB.
