Free MP3 to WAV Converter

Turn MP3 files into uncompressed WAV files for editing software, CD burning or devices that need WAV. Your files are converted in your browser and never leave your device.

Understanding MP3 & WAV Formats

MP3 is a compressed, lossy format made for small files; WAV stores audio uncompressed, which editing programs and many hardware devices expect.

When to Convert MP3 to WAV

Convert to WAV when a program or device asks for it: some video editors, DJ equipment, samplers, phone systems and CD burning tools work only with WAV. It is also a good idea before repeated editing, because a WAV can be saved again and again without further loss, whereas every new MP3 export removes a little more.

Will the Audio Sound Better as WAV?

No. The detail that was removed when the MP3 was made cannot be brought back. The WAV will sound exactly like the MP3 and be several times larger. What you gain is compatibility and a format that does not degrade further when you edit it.

16-Bit or 24-Bit?

16-bit is the CD standard and is accepted by every program and device; choose it unless you have a reason not to. 24-bit leaves more room for later processing in an editing program, at one and a half times the file size. Neither adds detail that the source file did not have.

Convert Several Files at Once

You can add up to 20 files in one go. They are converted one after another on your device, and each one gets its own download button; Download All saves them all. The sample rate and the channels of each file are kept: nothing is resampled, and mono stays mono.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MP3 to WAV Converter really free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up, no daily limits and no watermark on your files.

Are my audio files safe and private?

Yes. The audio is processed in your browser on your own device. Your files are never uploaded to our servers.

Why should I convert MP3 to WAV?

Because some programs and devices need WAV: certain video editors, samplers, DJ gear and CD burning tools. WAV is also the safer format for editing, since saving it again does not reduce the quality.

Does converting MP3 to WAV improve the quality?

No. The audio stays exactly as good as the MP3 was. Converting to WAV makes the file larger and easier for editing software to handle, but lost detail is not restored.

Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit WAV?

16-bit works everywhere and is the right choice in most cases. Choose 24-bit if the file is going into a project that uses 24-bit audio. The source file does not gain detail either way.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add up to 20 files, click Convert to WAV and download each result, or use Download All.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no fixed limit. The conversion runs on your own device, so very long files need a lot of memory; if a long file fails on a phone, try it on a computer.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The tool runs in your web browser on computers, phones and tablets.
