About this format

Uncompressed audio from Microsoft and IBM, 1991. It holds CD quality and above exactly as is, which is why it is big (about 10 MB a minute). The reference format for recording, editing and mastering.

What it can hold

  • Uncompressed audio (CD quality and up)
  • Multichannel
  • 24- and 32-bit

What it cannot

  • Small size
  • Tags — title and artist metadata is poorly supported

When you convert it

WAV → MP3A tenth of the size; quality drops by an amount the ear can rarely tell.
WAV → FLACNothing lost, half the size. For storage, go this way.
WAV → M4APlays best on Apple devices.

When it will not open

  • A wav over 4 GB — a limit of the format
  • Unusual encodings (μ-law and so on)

In one line Keep the original recording as wav; make mp3 for listening and sending.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a WAV file?

Drop the file into the window, pick the target format, and download the result. No account required.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser. A Windows installer is available separately if you prefer one.

What if the format I want isn't listed?

Every engine's capabilities are merged into a single graph, so unlisted pairs are chained automatically through intermediate formats along the least-lossy route.
