What is a AIF file?

AIF, or Audio Interchange File Format (commonly .aif), is a lossless audio file type developed by Apple and used primarily on Macintosh systems. It’s similar in structure to WAV and is known for preserving high-fidelity audio without compression.

AIF files are great for professional audio editing, archiving, and CD-quality sound, though they tend to be large in size. Because it’s uncompressed, it’s widely used in studio environments and broadcasting.

How to open AIF files

AIF files are supported by professional tools like Adobe Audition, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools, as well as consumer apps like iTunes, VLC, and Windows Media Player.

To convert large AIF files into smaller compressed formats like MP3, AnyConv makes it fast and hassle-free.
