Frequently Asked Questions

No, all processing is done in your browser using Web Audio API. Your MP3 files never leave your computer, tablet, or phone.

Does converting MP3 to WAV improve audio quality?

No, converting MP3 to WAV doesn't improve audio quality since MP3 is already a lossy format. However, WAV prevents further quality loss during editing and is required by many professional audio applications.

What's the difference between the bit depth options?

16-bit is standard CD quality, 24-bit offers higher dynamic range for professional work, and 32-bit float provides maximum precision for audio processing and editing.

Which sample rate should I choose?

44.1kHz for CD-quality audio, 48kHz for video production and professional audio, or 96kHz for high-resolution audio archiving and mastering.

Why are WAV files so much larger than MP3?

WAV files are uncompressed, so they contain all the original audio data. Expect WAV files to be 8-10 times larger than the original MP3, depending on the settings chosen.

Troubleshooting

File won't upload? Make sure you're selecting a valid MP3 file. Some corrupted or unusual MP3 encodings may not be supported.

Conversion fails during resampling? Try using the original sample rate instead of resampling, or refresh the page and try again with a different browser.

No audio in the converted WAV? The original MP3 file may be corrupted, very quiet, or encoded in an unusual format.

Browser runs out of memory? Large MP3 files or high sample rates require significant memory. Try using lower settings or a computer with more RAM.

Download doesn't work? Some browsers may block large file downloads. Check your download settings, try right-clicking the download link, or use a different browser.

Converted file sounds different? This is normal - you're hearing the uncompressed version. WAV files may sound slightly different due to the absence of MP3 compression artifacts.
