Convert MP4 to AIFF

AIFF is particularly valuable in two specific scenarios. First, it's preferred in the Apple professional ecosystem - if you're working with Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, or other professional Apple creative software, AIFF provides perfect compatibility and quality. Second, AIFF is important in professional audio production environments, especially music studios, where its uncompressed quality and broad compatibility with high-end audio equipment make it a standard format for masters and working files.

Both AIFF and WAV offer identical audio quality - they're both uncompressed formats that preserve 100% of the original audio data. The main difference is their native ecosystem: AIFF was developed by Apple while WAV comes from Microsoft. Most modern software supports both equally well, but AIFF has historically had better metadata support and integration with Apple products, while WAV traditionally worked better with Windows. Our converter can provide either format at the same quality level.

Yes, AIFF files are significantly larger than compressed formats because they store audio without compression. A 5-minute song might be around 50MB in AIFF, compared to about 5MB as an MP3. This is the trade-off for perfect, uncompressed audio quality. The good news is that storage is cheaper than ever these days, so many professionals prefer to use uncompressed formats like AIFF to maintain maximum quality throughout their workflow, only compressing to smaller formats for final distribution.

Absolutely! AIFF supports high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz, far beyond standard CD quality (16-bit/44.1kHz). When you extract audio from high-quality video sources like professional recordings, our converter lets you preserve or even upsample to these higher resolutions. This is particularly valuable for audiophile content, professional music production, or any scenario where you want to maintain the highest possible quality for future editing or archival purposes.

Yes, AIFF has excellent metadata support. Our converter preserves existing metadata from the source MP4 and allows you to add or edit information during conversion. You can include standard fields like artist, album, and track titles, as well as more specialized metadata like instrument information, recording notes, and technical details. This makes AIFF an excellent format for organizing professional audio libraries where comprehensive information about each file is important.
