Frequently asked questions
Is WAV better quality than MP3?
WAV is uncompressed and lossless, so it keeps every sample the source gave it. But converting an existing MP3 to WAV cannot restore detail the MP3 encoder already threw away — you get a much larger file at the same audible quality. Convert to WAV when your source is lossless to begin with.
Why are WAV files so much larger?
WAV stores raw samples with no compression at all. Stereo audio at 44.1 kHz runs roughly 10 MB per minute at 16-bit and 16 MB per minute at 24-bit — about seven to ten times the size of the same audio as a 192 kbps MP3.
Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit?
16-bit is the CD standard and the right default for listening, sharing and archiving finished audio. Choose 24-bit when the file is headed into a DAW for more editing — the extra headroom keeps rounding noise out of the signal across repeated processing.
When should I use WAV instead of MP3?
Use WAV for editing, mixing, mastering and anything you plan to re-encode later, because it suffers no generation loss when saved again. Use MP3 when file size or streaming bandwidth matters more than keeping an exact copy.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and WAV encoding both run locally in your browser through the Web Audio API, so your audio never leaves your device.
