What is a .PAF file?
PAF files are audio files saved in the PARIS Audio File (PAF) format, a professional-grade format Ensoniq developed for use with the PARIS digital audio workstation. The files typically store uncompressed or lightly processed audio to preserve maximum sound quality during recording, editing, and mixing. This makes them well suited for multitrack studio sessions, post-production work, and other environments where audio fidelity is more important than file size.
You may encounter PAF files in older studio projects, production archives, or recordings created on PARIS DAW systems. Although the PARIS platform is no longer widely used, these files remain important to audio engineers, archivists, and musicians who need access to original session material. File Viewer Plus can play PAF files and convert the audio to MP3 or M4A formats at various bitrates and frequencies, making the audio easier to share and compatible with a wider range of devices and media players.
Alternate file extensions: .fap
