About FLAC to WAV
Some DAWs, samplers, and CD tools only accept WAV. FLAC to WAV is lossless — every sample is identical.
FLAC is decoded to 16-bit PCM WAV. 24-bit FLAC is reduced to 16-bit in this tool.
The FFmpeg engine (about 31 MB) downloads the first time you convert and is then cached by your browser. Files up to about 100 MB are supported because everything runs in browser memory.
