This one runs on your credits. The same samples, every one of them, in half the bytes.
Sign in and get 500 free credits every month — enough for many files — then drop the file in the workbench and run wav to flac there.

More free conversions, where you upload. The Fylane extension does the same work inside any upload form, on its own free share every day.About the extension
How to convert WAV to FLAC
- Drop the audio.
- Nothing to choose.
- Press Convert and download.
What happens to your file
The PCM samples are packed with FLAC: nothing is thrown away, the file is typically 50–60% of the WAV, and any player decodes it back to the identical samples.
An MP3 or M4A is not accepted here on purpose: wrapping a lossy file in FLAC makes it larger and no better.
Questions
Is FLAC really lossless?
Yes — decode it and you get the WAV back, bit for bit. It is the format archives and audiophiles keep.
