About MP3

Lossy

MPEG-1 Audio Layer III

The universal audio format

MP3 is the most widely supported compressed audio format. It removes sounds the ear barely notices, shrinking music to about a tenth of its CD size.

Strengths
Plays on virtually every device, app and car stereo. Small files with good quality at 192–320 kbps.
Limitations
Lossy: some detail is lost with every encode. Less efficient than AAC or Opus at low bitrates.

About WAV

Lossless

Waveform Audio File Format

Uncompressed studio audio

WAV stores raw PCM audio exactly as it was recorded, without compression. It is the standard working format of audio editors, music production software and broadcasting.

Strengths
Perfect quality, instant to decode, and accepted by all editing software.
Limitations
Very large files (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality) and limited support for tags.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert MP3 to WAV?

Add your MP3 files to the converter above. WAV is already selected as the output, so conversion starts right away. When a file is ready, click Download, or use Download all to get a ZIP.

Will converting MP3 to WAV reduce the sound quality?

Nothing more is lost: WAV stores the decoded MP3 audio exactly. It cannot restore detail that the MP3 compression already removed, though — the file gets bigger, not better. Convert to WAV when software requires it or for editing.

Which settings should I use for WAV?

16-bit is CD quality and works everywhere. Pick 24-bit only for high-resolution sources or if you will keep editing the audio. Keep the original sample rate unless a program requires 44.1 or 48 kHz.

Are my MP3 files uploaded anywhere?

No. The MP3 to WAV conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a server, so even private recordings stay on your device.

Can I convert several MP3 files to WAV at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 files; they are converted one after another, and you can download each WAV file separately or all of them together as a ZIP archive.
