WMA (.wma) · Max 20 MB

WMA 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 should I convert WMA files?

WMA is a legacy format that's poorly supported outside Windows. Most Macs, iPhones, Android devices, and audio editors handle WAV natively. Converting ensures your audio works everywhere.

Will the WAV file be larger than the WMA?

Yes, significantly. WAV is uncompressed, so files are typically 5-10x larger than the compressed WMA source. The trade-off is universal compatibility.

Can I edit the WAV file after conversion?

Absolutely. WAV is the most widely supported audio format for editing. Every DAW, audio editor, and production tool works with WAV files natively.
