Convert WMA to WAV
WAV is an uncompressed audio format, read by every editing tool (Audacity, Premiere, any DAW…) and every system. The old Microsoft WMA, by contrast, is often rejected by those tools.
Converting WMA to WAV is perfect when you want to edit, master or reuse a recording in an audio project, with no compatibility worries.
Everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly: your recordings never leave your device.
WMA vs WAV: what's the difference?
| Criterion | WMA | WAV |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | None — raw audio |
| File size | Light | Very heavy |
| Audio editing | Limited support | Standard format in every editor |
| Burning an audio CD | Needs conversion | Native format |
Good to know: going from WMA to WAV won't restore quality already lost to the original compression. It locks the audio in an uncompressed format so you can edit it without adding new loss.
When should you convert WMA to WAV?
- Import an old recording into audio editing software.
- Burn an audio CD from old Windows Media files.
- Rework the track without stacking loss on each export.
- Use the audio in a tool that only accepts WAV.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert WMA to WAV rather than MP3?
WAV is uncompressed: it's the reference format for editing and mastering. To simply listen or share, MP3 (lighter) is enough.
Will the WAV file be large?
Yes, uncompressed WAV is heavier than WMA. That's expected: it keeps all the audio information for editing.
Is it free?
Yes, free and no sign-up. The free version handles up to 5 files at once; Pro removes the limit and adds ZIP.
Are my recordings private?
Yes. The conversion happens entirely in your browser; no audio file is ever sent to a server.
