About AIFC Files

An .aifc file is an audio file saved in the Compressed Audio Interchange File Format (AIFC), a variation of the standard AIFF format developed by Apple. AIFC files store audio data compressed to reduce file size while preserving much of the original sound quality. The format supports several compression codecs, including Apple’s proprietary ADPCM, and is often used for storing voice recordings, music, or system sounds on macOS and older multimedia applications.

AIFC files maintain the same structure as AIFF files but include additional metadata that specifies the compression type. Because of this, they are more space-efficient while still retaining professional-grade audio fidelity suitable for editing and playback. Users can open and play .aifc files on FileHelper.com by dragging them to this page.

Converting AIFC Files

You can convert .aifc files to other formats to improve compatibility:

• Converting to MP3: Makes AIFC audio playable on nearly all devices and media players, though it applies additional lossy compression that slightly reduces audio quality compared to the original file.
• Converting to AAC: Provides efficient compression and good sound quality, producing smaller files than MP3 while maintaining compatibility with most modern devices and streaming platforms.
