WebM vs AIFF: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | WebM | AIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Open web video container | Uncompressed audio container (Apple) |
| Audio codec | Vorbis or Opus (lossy) | Uncompressed PCM (lossless) |
| Developer | Google / WebM Project | Apple Computer |
| File size | Moderate (video included) | Very large — no audio compression |
| Audio quality | Good — depends on Vorbis/Opus quality | Maximum — uncompressed playback |
| Compatibility | Web browsers, Linux, Android | macOS, iOS, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, DAWs |
| Use case | Web video | Professional audio production, mastering |
| Metadata | WebM segment tags | AIFF/ID3 chunks: artist, album, cover |
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Import web recording audio into Logic Pro
WebM files do not open in Logic Pro. Extract the audio as AIFF to import it directly into Logic Pro projects. AIFF is Logic Pro's native uncompressed format, offering the cleanest integration and zero codec overhead during playback.
Prepare audio from web sources for professional mastering
Mastering engineers need uncompressed source files. Convert WebM audio to AIFF before sending to a mastering engineer so they work with the cleanest possible version of your audio without additional lossy encoding layers.
Extract audio from browser recordings for sound design
Browser MediaRecorder produces WebM files. If you record ambient sounds, foley, or instruments through a browser, converting to AIFF gives you an uncompressed working file for sound design in Pro Tools or Reaper on Mac.
Create AIFF sample files for music production
Logic Pro's sampler and many Mac-native instruments read AIFF natively. Convert audio from WebM tutorial or reference videos to AIFF to slice and use as samples in your music production workflow.
Archive important web video audio without compression
For audio content you want to preserve with maximum fidelity, converting to AIFF stores it in an uncompressed format free from any future codec deprecation or compression artifacts.
How to Convert WebM to AIFF
-
1
Upload your WebM file
Drag and drop your .webm file onto the converter or click to browse and select it. Files up to 500MB are supported.

2
Server-side AIFF conversion
Your file is uploaded over HTTPS and FFmpeg decodes the Vorbis or Opus audio from the WebM container, writing it as uncompressed PCM audio in an AIFF file. The video stream is discarded entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
AIFF is the native uncompressed format for macOS and Logic Pro, making it ideal for professional audio work. If your source audio arrives in WebM format and you need to edit it in Logic Pro or another Mac DAW, converting to AIFF provides the cleanest integration.
No. The AIFF is uncompressed, but the source audio was Vorbis or Opus (both lossy). Converting to AIFF stores the existing audio losslessly — without further degradation — but cannot recover quality lost by the original lossy encoding.
AIFF is uncompressed. A 5-minute audio track at 44.1 kHz stereo produces approximately 50MB as AIFF. For longer recordings, AIFF files can become very large. Consider FLAC if you need lossless compression with smaller files.
AIFF and WAV are functionally equivalent — both store uncompressed PCM audio. AIFF was created by Apple and is better supported on macOS, while WAV was created by Microsoft and is more common on Windows. Logic Pro prefers AIFF.
Yes. AIFF is natively supported in Pro Tools, along with WAV. AIFF files can be imported directly into Pro Tools sessions on both Mac and Windows.
FFmpeg writes AIFF at the native sample rate and bit depth of the source audio. WebM files typically contain 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz audio at 16-bit, which is what the AIFF will contain.
AIFF requires third-party software on Windows. VLC, foobar2000, and iTunes for Windows support AIFF natively. For Windows-native workflows, WAV is the equivalent uncompressed format.
Yes. ChangeThisFile is completely free with no signup required, no conversion limits, and no watermarks on output files.
Conversion is typically fast — FFmpeg decodes the audio stream and writes PCM data without complex processing. Most videos convert in under 30 seconds. The resulting AIFF download may take longer given its larger file size.
Yes. All uploads are encrypted via HTTPS. Files are deleted automatically from our servers immediately after conversion. We do not store, access, or share your content.
