Questions
- Will the WAV sound better than the MP3?
- No. The WAV keeps exactly what is in the MP3 — it can’t bring back what MP3 compression removed. Convert when a program requires WAV.
- How big will the WAV be?
- About 10 MB per minute of stereo at 44.1 kHz — roughly ten times a 128 kb/s MP3. That’s why this tool takes recordings up to about an hour and a half (a WAV of up to 1 GB).
- What kind of WAV do I get?
- 16-bit PCM with the same sample rate and channels as the MP3 (up to 48 kHz, stereo) — the most widely supported kind of WAV.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- Your file never leaves your device. It is converted right here, in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
