MP4 (.mp4) · Max 20 MB
MP4 already discarded some audio data during its initial compression. Converting to WAV wraps the remaining audio in a lossless container. No additional quality is lost.
This is useful when your editing tools require WAV input. You get compatibility without a second round of lossy compression.
For the best results, always start from the highest quality source you have. If you have the original uncompressed recording, convert that instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why extract to WAV instead of MP3 from MP4?
WAV is uncompressed, so there's no additional quality loss during conversion. Choose WAV when you plan to edit the audio. Choose MP3 when you just need a small file for listening.
How much larger is WAV than the audio in my MP4?
Roughly 5-10x larger. The audio track in an MP4 is typically compressed with AAC. Extracting to WAV gives you an uncompressed version that's much bigger but ready for editing.
Can I extract just a portion of the audio?
This tool extracts the full audio track. To trim it, convert first, then use any audio editor to cut the WAV to the section you need.
