About the WAV Converter
WAV is an uncompressed audio format used by professional audio editors, video editing software, broadcasting systems, telephone systems (IVR) and many hardware devices. The WAV Converter decodes your MP3, M4A, OGG, FLAC or video file and saves it as a standard 16-bit PCM WAV file.
Converting to WAV does not improve the quality of a compressed source, but it gives you a file that any software can open and edit without further quality loss. Enable mono to halve the size for voice recordings. All processing is done locally in your browser.
How to use the WAV Converter
- Drop your audio or video file.
- Choose stereo or mono.
- Wait a moment for the conversion.
- Download the WAV file.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the WAV file so large?
WAV is uncompressed: one minute of stereo audio at 44.1 kHz is about 10 MB.
Does converting MP3 to WAV improve quality?
No. It preserves the current quality exactly but cannot restore detail lost by MP3 compression.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Your media is decoded and converted by your own browser, so private recordings and videos never leave your device.
