AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, the Mac equivalent of WAV, used in Logic Pro and GarageBand. It is a lossless format best suited to editing on macOS. The main drawback is that files are large and Windows apps prefer WAV.
Frequently asked questions
Will the MP3 lose quality?
MP3 uses lossy compression, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. At the default quality setting the difference is very hard to see. Raise the quality slider if you need the result to stay closer to the AIFF original.
Will the MP3 be smaller than the AIFF?
Usually yes: a minute of audio takes about 10.6 MB as AIFF and about 1.4 MB as MP3 at 192 kbps. Lower the bitrate to shrink it further; 128 kbps is plenty for speech.
