Why convert MP4 to WAV?
You want to keep only the sound of a video: lecture, concert, course, interview, the music from a clip. The resulting file is 10 to 20 times smaller and plays on any player.
How to do it, step by step
- Drop your MP4 fileinto the area at the top of the page (or several files at once). On mobile, tap the area and pick the file from your apps.
- Check the output format: WAV is already selected. WAV is a lossless format: there is no quality setting, the sound is reproduced identically. The file will be noticeably larger than a compressed format.
- Start the conversion.The FFmpeg engine loads once (≈ 10 MB), then each file is processed in a few seconds without leaving your device.
- Download your WAV, directly or as a .zip if you converted several files. The name and metadata (title, artist, cover art) are preserved.
The MP4 format (MPEG-4 (video audio track))
MP4 is a video file. Extracting its audio track lets you keep only the sound of a lecture, a concert, an interview or a personal video, in a much smaller file you can listen to anywhere.
- Universal video format
- Large
- Pointless when only the sound matters
The WAV format (Waveform Audio File Format)
WAV is an uncompressed format: it stores raw audio, exactly like a CD. The quality is perfect but the files are large (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality). It is the reference format for audio editing, music production, transcription and professional software.
- No quality loss
- Read by every audio application
- Ideal for editing and transcription
- Very large files
- No standardized metadata (title, artist)
