WAV bit depth

An MP3 can't regain detail it already lost, so 16-bit is enough for most uses. The sample rate stays the same as the MP3.

What is an MP3 to WAV converter?

Some programs only take WAV: older audio editors, many samplers and DJ tools, CD-burning software, phone systems and a lot of game engines. This tool decodes your MP3 files and writes them as standard PCM WAV, the uncompressed format every audio app can open.

Decoding uses your browser's built-in MP3 decoder, at the MP3's own sample rate (usually 44.1 kHz), so the timing and pitch stay exactly the same. You choose 16-bit, which matches CD audio and opens everywhere, or 24-bit for editing software that prefers it. The WAV is written directly in the page; nothing is uploaded.

Honest limits: WAV can't bring back detail the MP3 encoder already removed, so the WAV sounds the same as the MP3, just in a format more apps accept. Expect files about 5 to 10 times larger: around 10 MB per minute of stereo at 16-bit, 44.1 kHz. ID3 tags (title, artist, cover art) are not carried over.

Why use an MP3 to WAV converter?

When an editor, a sampler or a phone system rejects your MP3, converting it to WAV is the fix. Doing it in the browser takes seconds, works on any computer or phone, and keeps your audio private on your own device.

MP3 to WAV converter: frequently asked questions

Does converting MP3 to WAV improve the quality?

No. The WAV contains exactly what the MP3 decoder outputs, so it sounds the same. What you gain is compatibility: apps that refuse MP3 accept WAV.

Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit?

16-bit is CD quality and opens in every app and device, so it is the default. 24-bit gives editing software a little more headroom for effects, but it can't add detail to an MP3 and makes the file 50% bigger.

Why is the WAV so much bigger than the MP3?

WAV is uncompressed. A 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo WAV uses about 10 MB per minute, while a 128 kbps MP3 uses about 1 MB per minute.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and writing the WAV happen in your browser. Only a usage count for the daily free run goes to our server.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. On iPhone, choose the MP3 from the Files app and the WAV is saved to Files > Downloads. On Android, it goes to your Downloads folder.

What sample rate is the WAV?

The same as the MP3, usually 44.1 kHz (music) or 48 kHz (video soundtracks). The page shows it next to each converted file.

Is it free?

You get one free run of this tool per day, and one run converts every file you press the button for (up to 20). After that, each run costs 5 credits (5 US cents) from a free AI Rank Lab account. The free run resets every day.
