Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting MP3 to WAV improve audio quality?
No. WAV is lossless but converting from a lossy MP3 does not restore the data discarded during MP3 compression. The WAV will be uncompressed, but the quality ceiling is your MP3 source.
Why are WAV files so much larger than MP3?
WAV stores raw uncompressed PCM audio. A 3-minute MP3 at 320 kbps is about 7 MB; the same audio as WAV (44.1kHz/16-bit stereo) is approximately 30 MB.
What sample rate will the output WAV have?
The output WAV matches the sample rate of your MP3 source, typically 44,100 Hz stereo.
Which DAW should I use with the converted WAV?
WAV files are universally compatible with every DAW including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reaper, and Adobe Audition.
Is my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 100 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.
