AIFF Audio Format AIFF Converter
The Audio Interchange File Format, or AIFF, is an audio file type storing high-quality sound in an uncompressed, lossless form. AIFF files were developed in 1988 by Apple, and were based on the IFF format created by Electronic Arts (EA) for use in video games. The lack of compression means that AIFF files hold more audio data; this is what provides the higher-quality sound, but also tends to result in a much larger file size, especially compared to other common audio formats like MP3.
The AIFF format is similar to the WAV format, with both files types retaining the original audio data and using the same encoding method. However, AIFF files are more commonly associated with Apple Mac computers, whereas WAV files are more typically found on PCs. You should be able to play an AIFF file on both a Mac and a PC though, with several media players supporting this format, including Apple QuickTime, Apple Music, Windows Media Player and VLC media player.

AC3 Audio Format AC3 Converter
The AC3 (Audio Codec 3) file format was developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is an audio format designed to support surround sound. The format can include up to six separate channels of audio output - one for each of the five speakers in a surround sound setup, plus one for a subwoofer. AC3 files use Dolby Digital lossy compression technology, which maintains sound quality even with a reduced file size.
Although this file format was originally developed for audio in cinemas, it now has many other uses, such as in digital video streaming and TV broadcasting, for DVD and Blu-ray discs, and for video game consoles. The format’s reduced file size makes it ideal for storing and distributing - e.g. on a DVD or Blu-ray disc. An AC3 file can be opened by many different media players, including Apple QuickTime, Windows Media Player, and VLC.
