A lossless format is a way to compress audio files without losing any of the original sound quality. When you compress audio into a lossless format and then uncompress it, you get back exactly what you started with. This makes lossless formats great for situations where preserving audio quality is important, like in professional music production or when storing high-quality music files. Examples of lossless formats include WAV, FLAC, ALAC, and AIFF.

Lossless formats like WAV and FLAC maintain more of the original details and nuances of a recording compared to MP3, which is a compressed, lossy audio format. MP3 reduces file size by removing some audio data, impacting sound quality.
