Wrap-up

👉 Key Points:

W64 is type of WAV for large audio files over 4GB.
You can’t directly convert W64 files over 4GB to standard WAV.
It’s recommended to convert to FLAC or MP3 to avoid the size limit.
To export to WAV, you should split the W64 into smaller parts under 4GB.

What is a W64 File Exactly

A file with the .w64 extension is a Sony Wave64 audio file. It’s the same as WAV file, except that WAV uses a 32-bit header, while W64 is 64-bit. This makes the W64 format exceed the 4GB limit of the WAV specification, allowing for longer recording times.

However, since W64 is primarily used by Sony audio editing programs, few other programs can open W64 files the same way as WAV. Luckily, you can convert W64 to WAV to solve the compatibility issue. At the same time, this conversion will not lose quality.

Yet, it’s important to consider that if the W64 file has exceeded 4GB, it cannot be converted directly to W64. You need to split the file to be less than 4GB or use other compression formats such as FLAC (lossless) and MP3 (lossy).

Below, I will provide detailed steps to convert Sony Wave64 files to WAV and other audio formats. Please continue reading.
