Is my audio file uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the Web Audio API. Your file is read from local memory and never sent to any server.

Will converting MP3 to WAV improve audio quality?

No. Converting from a lossy format (MP3) to a lossless one (WAV) does not recover the data discarded during MP3 encoding. The WAV will sound identical to the source MP3 — it is simply stored without further compression.

What sample rate and bit depth does the output use?

The WAV is written at the sample rate of the source MP3 (usually 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz) with 16-bit signed PCM encoding and the same channel count (mono or stereo).

What is the maximum file size I can convert?

There is no hard limit set by this tool, but very large files (over ~200 MB) may be slow depending on your device memory and browser. Most typical MP3 files convert in under a second.

Why is the WAV file much larger than the MP3?

WAV stores raw, uncompressed PCM samples. A 3-minute stereo track at 44100 Hz / 16-bit takes roughly 30 MB as WAV versus ~3 MB as a 128 kbps MP3 — a roughly 10x size difference is normal.

Summary

Drop an MP3 file and download a lossless WAV copy — all processing happens in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Click the drop zone or drag an MP3 file onto it.
The browser decodes the MP3 using the Web Audio API.
The decoded PCM samples are re-encoded into a standard 16-bit WAV container.
A download button appears — click it to save the WAV file.
All processing is local; your file is never sent to any server.

Use cases

Prepare audio clips for DAW projects that require WAV input.
Convert MP3 music for use in game engines or video editing software.
Archive compressed files in lossless format for long-term storage.
Provide uncompressed audio to hardware devices that do not support MP3.
Prevent compounding generational loss during subsequent audio editing and re-exports.
Convert voice recordings from MP3 to WAV for speech-recognition tools.
