Frequently asked questions

Will converting to MP3 reduce audio quality?

MP3 uses lossy compression, so there's some quality trade-off compared to the original WAV, though it's generally not noticeable for speech or casual listening. If you need to preserve every bit of the original, keep a copy of your WAV file alongside the MP3.

Why convert WAV to MP3 at all?

WAV files are uncompressed and can be many times larger than an MP3 of the same audio. MP3 is a good choice when you need smaller files for email, messaging apps, or web playback without noticeably sacrificing quality.
