What usually goes wrong

About the AIFF. AIFF and WAV are the same audio at the same size; only the byte order and metadata differ. Converting between them changes nothing you can hear.

Questions
How do I convert APE to AIFF?
Open this page, add your APE file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this APE to AIFF converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to AIFF lose quality?
AIFF is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.
Can I convert several APE files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
