How to use MP3 to WAV Converter

Takes about 2 minutes. You need MP3 files.

  1. Choose your MP3 filesPress Choose audio files or drop your MP3 files into the box.
  2. Convert to WAVWAV is already selected, so each MP3 is converted as soon as it is added, as 16-bit PCM at its own sample rate.
  3. Download the WAV filesPress play to check a file, then Download WAV, or Download all (ZIP) for the batch.
Audio Converter: Convert WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG and FLAC files to MP3, WAV or OGG, without uploading them.

Some audio editors, DJ programs, samplers, phone systems and CD burning apps want WAV rather than MP3. Drop your MP3 files here and each one is saved as a standard 16-bit PCM WAV at its original sample rate, which every program can open. You can convert a batch at once, play each WAV to check it, and download them together in a ZIP. The conversion runs in your browser, so your music is never uploaded.

Will the WAV sound better than the MP3?

No. Converting to WAV keeps the MP3's sound exactly as it is, but it cannot restore detail the MP3 left out when it was made. What you gain is a file every editor handles smoothly, with no further loss when you edit and save it.

Why the WAV is so large

WAV stores each sample uncompressed, about 10.6 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo, so a 4 MB MP3 becomes a WAV of around 30 to 40 MB. Make sure you have room before converting a big batch.

Questions

Does MP3 to WAV improve quality?

No. The WAV sounds exactly like the MP3. It is useful because editors and other programs work with WAV without adding any further loss.

What kind of WAV do I get?

A standard PCM WAV at 16 bits, the same bit depth as audio CDs, with the MP3's own sample rate and stereo or mono. It opens in every audio editor, DJ app and sampler.

Can I use the WAV to burn an audio CD?

Most CD burning programs accept WAV. Audio CDs use 44.1 kHz, which most MP3 music already has; the burning program converts other rates if needed.

Are my MP3 files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, and your files never leave your device.
