Opus (.opus) · Max 20 MB

Opus 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 convert Opus to WAV instead of MP3?

Convert to WAV if you plan to edit the audio (podcast editing, music production, etc.). WAV is uncompressed, so no additional quality is lost. Convert to MP3 if you just need a smaller file for sharing.

Will the WAV file be much larger?

Yes. Opus is highly compressed — a 1MB Opus file might become 15-20MB as WAV. That's the trade-off for having uncompressed audio that's ready for editing.

Does this work with OGG Opus files?

Yes. Whether your file is .opus or .ogg containing Opus audio, this tool handles both and converts to standard WAV.
