Convert MP3 to WAV
MP3 compresses audio by discarding sound the ear is least likely to notice, and plays essentially everywhere. Converting it to WAV gives you a file suited to recording, editing and mastering, where quality matters more than size.

About the formats
About MP3
MP3 compresses audio by discarding sound the ear is least likely to notice, and plays essentially everywhere. It is normally used for music, podcasts and voice recordings. Compression is lossy, so audio detail removed on encoding cannot be recovered.
About WAV
WAV stores audio samples uncompressed, so nothing is discarded between recording and playback. It is normally used for recording, editing and mastering, where quality matters more than size. Uncompressed audio is large - roughly ten megabytes per minute of CD-quality stereo.
What to expect
- Up to 5 minutes and 1080p.
- The video track is discarded; only audio is kept.
What happens to your file
Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted connection, converted there, and deleted as soon as the download has been sent. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers, converted, and deleted once your download has been sent.
Does converting MP3 to WAV reduce quality?
WAV discards nothing, so no further detail is lost. It cannot recover what MP3 compression already removed, though, and the resulting file will normally be larger than the original.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB, and video is additionally limited to 5 minutes and 1080p. Converting video is demanding work, and those limits are what keep it fast for everyone.
Does the video come through as well?
No. WAV is an audio-only format, so the video track is discarded and only the sound is kept. That is normally the point of this conversion.
