What is APE file?
APE files are associated with .APE file format and the AVS Plugin Effects File developed by Vegasaur. It is a Rapid Evolutionary Open Graphics Library (REGL) file used for plugins in audio and video applications. APE files are widely used by Vegasaur applications, which allow users to quickly adjust the effects settings of their audio and video files. The extension includes a library of software tools and effects that enable users to customize their audio or visual projects. [ ⏩ ] APE file extension
What is WV file?
A WV file is an audio or a video file encoded using the open-source WavPack software. The WV format is used for both lossless and lossy audio compression, or the creation of hybrid files that contain both lossless and lossy data. It is capable of creating digital media files that consume little disk space while maintaining excellent sound quality. WV files also support embedded album artwork and cue sheets.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from APE to WV?
To successfully convert the APE file to WV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.APE). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than WV).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. APE to WV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting APE files to WV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension WV, while before this step we had the APE file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WV file, or not.
