AIFF File Format

Audio Interchange File Format category

AIFF is Apple’s uncompressed audio format, the Mac-side cousin of WAV used in professional audio work.

Typical use: AIFF imports cleanly into Logic Pro and older Mac audio tooling.

About the AIFF format

AIFF is Apple's counterpart to WAV: uncompressed PCM in an IFF container, born with the classic Mac in 1988. It stores the same bit-perfect audio as WAV but carries metadata far better — iTunes-era tags, cover art and loop points all fit natively, which made it the default of Logic Pro and Mac-based audio production.

Functionally the WAV-versus-AIFF choice is platform history: same quality, same sizes, AIFF friendlier on Mac, WAV friendlier everywhere else. Converting between them is a lossless retagging exercise, nothing more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Bit-perfect uncompressed audio
  • ✓ Better metadata support than WAV
  • ✓ Native to macOS and Logic Pro

Limitations

  • ✗ Same bulk as WAV (~10 MB/minute)
  • ✗ Windows tooling historically prefers WAV
