How to send an AIFF file.

AIFF is the Mac studio's uncompressed audio container. The files are large because nothing is compressed. quik.space stores the AIFF byte-for-byte and gives the recipient a download link that opens cleanly in any major DAW.

What is a AIFF audio?

AIFF audio files use the .aif, .aiff extension and the audio/x-aiff MIME type. The format sits in the audio category. Typical files run 30 MB - 700 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a AIFF audio

AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio container, similar in size to WAV. A 5-minute song at CD quality is roughly 50 MB. Multitrack stems run several hundred. Email caps make this unworkable.Slack, Discord, and most other workplace tools have similar caps, often around 1 GB for free tiers and with aggressive per-channel storage limits. Even when the file fits, it counts against the recipient’s mailbox quota forever.

How quik.space handles AIFF audio

quik.space stores the AIFF byte-for-byte. Sample rate, bit depth, chunk metadata, all preserved. The recipient opens it in any major DAW or audio editor. The share page renders an inline HTML5 audio player, so the recipient streams the file before downloading the original.

The file lives for 72 hours by default and then enters a 7-day grace period. We do not train AI on your files. We do not share them with third parties. After grace, the bytes are permanently purged from storage. Read the full policy on privacy.

  • Send an AIFF master from a Mac-based studio to a partner

Frequently asked

Will AIFF metadata chunks survive?

Yes. Most modern audio software (Audacity, Reaper, Pro Tools, REAPER) reads AIFF on Windows.
Is inline playback supported?
Yes on most browsers via the HTML5 player. Where it is not, the download always works.
