Why you sometimes need a WAV

MP3 is perfect for listening to music, but some systems don't accept it. Phone systems and menus (IVR), some editing programs, audio consoles, drum machines and many radio platforms ask for WAV, because it's an uncompressed format any device can read without decoding.

This tool converts your MP3 into a 16-bit PCM WAV with the same sample rate and channels as the original, which is the most compatible setup.

Most common uses

Phone system messages

Greeting recordings or hold music for phone systems that only accept WAV.

Audio and video editing

Some editors work better with WAV, because it allows exact cuts without decoding the MP3.

DJ and production gear

Samplers, drum machines and some controllers only read WAV from a USB drive.

Platforms and contests

Radio stations, distributors and music contests usually ask for material in WAV.

What to know before converting

WAV is much bigger. A minute of stereo audio in WAV takes about 10 MB, versus 1 to 2.5 MB in MP3. That's normal.

Quality doesn't improve. The WAV will sound exactly like your MP3: converting doesn't recover the quality lost when the MP3 was made, but nothing more is lost either.
