About CAFF files
CAFF, or Core Audio Format, is a container format developed by Apple for storing audio data. While it offers high-quality sound and is compatible with macOS applications, it can pose challenges for users on other platforms. More details about CAFF can be found on Wikipedia.
Conversion Possibilities
CAFF files can be converted to various audio file formats, including WAV, MP3, AAC, FLAC, and AIFF. However, the conversion process can be tricky due to CAFF's specific encoding techniques.
Software for Conversion
For offline conversion, consider using software like VLC Media Player, which supports CAFF, or FFmpeg, a powerful command-line tool. Both programs are highly reliable for converting CAFF files to various formats.
Challenges and Considerations
Converting CAFF files can be difficult due to potential loss of audio quality or metadata. Moreover, CAFF's limited cross-platform support further complicates its use. These challenges highlight the importance of choosing the right conversion method and software.
Drawbacks of CAFF
While CAFF files offer excellent sound quality, their incompatibility with non-Apple systems and the complexity of conversion can be significant drawbacks.

The CAFF Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best CAFF converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
