How to use this tool

To convert MP3 to WAV, choose your MP3 here, press Create file and download a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo WAV that every editor, DAW, sampler and CD burner opens. The conversion runs right in your browser, so the file stays on your device, and the WAV keeps your original file name.

    Play the WAV in the player and click Download. Plan for about 10 MB of WAV per minute of audio.

Does MP3 to WAV improve quality?

The WAV sounds exactly like your MP3: it is a faithful, uncompressed copy of it. The benefits are practical. Editors handle WAV without decoding, every export starts from a lossless file instead of compressing the MP3 a second time, and devices that require WAV accept it. For the best master, keep the original WAV or FLAC whenever you have one.

When you need WAV

• Video editors and DAWs such as Premiere Pro, Audacity, GarageBand and FL Studio • Samplers, drum machines and DJ hardware • Burning an audio CD, which uses 16-bit 44.1 kHz • Phone systems, on-hold messages and announcements • Speech, transcription and legacy software that reads WAV

Output format

The WAV uses 16-bit PCM, 44.1 kHz, stereo: the CD standard and the most widely supported WAV variant. Mono MP3 files are saved with the same sound on both channels. If your project runs at 48 kHz, editors convert the sample rate automatically on import. To go the other way, use the WAV to MP3 converter.
