SampleFit prepares entire PCM sample packs for hardware samplers and professional audio workflows. Select WAV or AIFF files, choose the exact output contract, and receive verified local copies with predictable filenames. Your originals are never modified. EXACT PCM OUTPUT • 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sample rate • 16-bit or 24-bit depth • Mono or stereo channels • WAV or AIFF container BATCH-FIRST WORKFLOW Convert up to 100 samples in one batch instead of repeating the same settings file by file. SampleFit processes one item at a time to keep memory use predictable. BUILT FOR COMPATIBILITY Use clear sampler-ready presets or create a limited custom profile. Before conversion, SampleFit shows the exact output contract and previews deterministic filenames. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All processing happens on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account, upload, cloud service or tracking. Audio never leaves your device. FOCUSED SCOPE SampleFit supports uncompressed PCM WAV and AIFF files. It does not pretend to be an editor, player or universal codec toolbox. The app focuses on one paid outcome: compatible copies ready to move into your sampler workflow. Try three completed batches for free. Unlock unlimited batches with one lifetime purchase. No subscription.
