Converting WAV to FLAC: what to know
WAV is converted to FLAC to save space without losing anything: FLAC compresses sound losslessly, and a FLAC file usually takes 50–70% of the WAV's size.
The sound stays identical bit for bit, and you can turn the FLAC back into the same WAV at any time. FLAC is supported by most players, phones and audio programs, so it is a good format for archiving recordings and music collections.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)

Best for recording, editing and working in audio editors.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
FLAC compresses audio without any loss: CD quality at roughly half the size of WAV.
Best for music archives and listening in maximum quality.
