Audio Interchange File Format (.aif)

The Audio Interchange File Format (AIF) is a standardized audio file format developed by Apple Inc. in 1988 for storing sound data. It is primarily used in professional audio environments due to its ability to store uncompressed, high-quality audio data. AIF files are widely supported across different platforms and applications, particularly in the context of music production and sound engineering, where high fidelity is paramount. Their uncompressed nature allows for precise editing and processing, making them an essential tool for IT specialists and audio professionals.
