Convert OPUS to WAV
Convert OPUS to WAV on your device. Choose your file, convert, and check the result before sharing.
Drop the opus file
Drag your OPUS onto the page or click to browse. It is read locally, never sent anywhere.
Choose WAV
WAV output is always 16-bit PCM, so there is no quality or bitrate menu. Click Convert to start processing in this tab.
Save the wav
The finished WAV downloads straight back to your device. Nothing touched a server on the way.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Your opus file is decoded and re-encoded by code in this tab - a song, a memo, a podcast never leaves the device.
Local conversion
No upload time for a big opus file, no server queue, no waiting on a download link.
No account, no daily cap
No daily caps, no "3 conversions left", no email wall. Convert the whole opus library.
The two formats, briefly
| OPUS | OPUS is an open audio codec standardized by the IETF in 2012 (RFC 6716), merging Skype’s SILK and Xiph’s CELT. It beats MP3 and AAC at low bitrates, which is why WhatsApp voice notes and Discord calls use it. | |
|---|---|---|
| WAV | WAV is a container commonly used for PCM audio. This converter writes 16-bit PCM; the source sample rate and channels are not deliberately changed. | |
When you need this
- Decode OPUS for an editor or workflow that asks for WAV PCM audio. This output is 16-bit, not an enhancement of the original recording, and can be much larger than compressed audio.
OPUS vs WAV: what changes
| OPUS | WAV | |
|---|---|---|
| Kind | Audio | Audio |
| Compression | Depends on source encoding | 16-bit PCM output here |
| Typical size | Depends on the file and encoding settings. | Measure the exported file; it may be larger. |
| Opens on | Check the source in your app and browser. | Check the downloaded file in the receiving app. |
| Best for | Keep the original as your source. | WAV workflows, subject to the limits below. |
Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- WAV output here is 16-bit PCM. There is no bitrate choice; converting a higher-bit-depth source can reduce precision.
- First use downloads the audio/video engine (about 30 MB). The input cap is 2 GB, but available browser memory can run out below that.
