Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CAF file?▼
CAF (Core Audio Format) is Apple's professional audio container used in Logic and pro recording. It supports huge files, many channels, and high resolutions without WAV's size limits.
Why convert CAF to WAV or MP3?▼
CAF barely opens outside Apple pro apps. WAV keeps the full quality for cross-platform editing; MP3 makes the audio shareable.
Does converting CAF to WAV lose quality?▼
No — both store uncompressed PCM audio, so the conversion is lossless. Only the container changes.
Is CAF the same as AIFF?▼
Not quite: CAF is a newer, more flexible container without AIFF's 4 GB limit and with better metadata support. Both can hold uncompressed audio.
Are my studio recordings private when converting?▼
Completely — conversion happens locally in your browser. Unreleased music and sessions never leave your device.
