How do I convert audio to WAV?

Drop your file onto the tool above. It decodes in your browser and re-encodes as 16-bit PCM WAV, then you can preview and download it — no account needed.

Which formats can I convert to WAV?

Anything your browser can decode: MP3, OGG, M4A/AAC, WEBM and usually FLAC — plus WAV itself, if you need it normalised to 16-bit PCM.

Does my file get uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your audio never leaves your device.

Why is the WAV bigger than my original?

WAV is uncompressed. A three-minute MP3 of about 3 MB becomes roughly 30 MB as 16-bit stereo WAV — that's the trade for a lossless, universally editable file.
