The Waveform Audio file format associated with the .wav filename extension was a format developed through collaboration between Microsoft and IBM. It is an extension of the RIFF and was first released in 1991. It is one of the earliest standards used for encoding audio bit streams on personal computers. It is typically used for storing uncompressed raw audio files on the Microsoft Windows platform, however it enjoys cross platform support on Macintosh and Linux and does have support for compressed audio. Because of the relatively large file sizes of uncompressed .wav files, the WAVE format in unpopular for file distribution over limited bandwidth computer networks including the internet.
A .caf extension file is a Coral Audio Format file. This format is quite advanced as compared to older formats of digital audio like .wav and .aiff. The .caf format files are of a very high resolution in terms of recording and editing as well as playback. They offer features like unlimited file size, excellent recording, multiple data formats, auxiliary data and data dependency support.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for WAV to CAF conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload WAV files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized CAF results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent CAF audio with dependable progress tracking.
Bit stream encoding in the WAVE file format is achieved using the linear pulse code modulation format. It has three main data blocks and one to many number of wave chunks identified as the chunk ID, chunk size, wave ID, and finally the format information and the sampled data. Data storage is based on the little endian byte order.
A .caf format file uses 64-bit file offset technology that can save a large number of recorded audio files in different formats and metadata tracks. Apart from audio data, these files store information like text, channel layouts, markers and annotations. Programs like Logic Studio and Soundtrack Pro frequently use CAF format files for additional sound effects and surround sound audio compression.
Upload your audio file in the WAV format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select CAF as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
