What is a WAV file?

A WAV file (Waveform Audio File Format) represents the gold standard for uncompressed digital audio storage. Developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 as part of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), WAV has become the definitive format for professional audio production, providing bit-perfect reproduction of original audio recordings without any quality loss.

Built on Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) encoding, WAV files store raw digital audio data as a series of samples captured at precise intervals, preserving every nuance of the original sound. This uncompressed approach makes WAV the preferred choice for audio professionals, musicians, and anyone requiring absolute fidelity in sound reproduction, serving as the foundation for most digital audio workflows worldwide.

Technical Foundation

  • Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
  • RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format)
  • Uncompressed audio data
  • Little-endian byte ordering

Audio Specifications

  • .wav (standard extension)
  • MIME type: audio/wav
  • Sample rates: 8 kHz to 192 kHz

WAV represents the pinnacle of digital audio fidelity, serving as the foundation for professional audio production worldwide for over three decades. With perfect lossless quality, universal compatibility, and industry-standard reliability, WAV ensures your audio projects maintain the highest possible quality throughout the entire production pipeline, from recording to final mastering.
