Last updated
Quick answer: To convert WV to AIFF, add the WV file to the iHateFiles WV to AIFF converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. WV is a format most software has stopped opening. AIFF is not.
Should you convert WV to AIFF?
A safe conversion: WV and AIFF are both lossless, so the sound is identical and only the file changes.
Every sample survives
WV and AIFF are both lossless, so the AIFF decodes to exactly the same samples as the WV. Only the packaging changes: 5 to 7 MB per minute as WV, about 10 MB as AIFF.
Where the AIFF will play
AIFF plays on Macs, Logic, GarageBand and most DAWs.

What usually goes wrong
About the WV. If you have a .wv and a .wvc, the second is the correction file. Without it you have only the lossy version.
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.
How to convert WV to AIFF
- Add your WV file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to AIFF.
- Press convert and the AIFF file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert WV to AIFF?
Open this page, add your WV 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 WV 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 WV files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
