WMA to WAV Converter
Convert WMA audio to WAV format. Uncompressed audio for editing and CD burning.
Why Convert WMA to WAV?
WMA is a compressed audio format, which is great for saving space but not ideal for professional audio work. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed, lossless format used by professionals for audio editing, mixing, and mastering. Converting WMA to WAV gives you a standard, high-fidelity format that is compatible with every digital audio workstation (DAW) and audio editing software available.
If you are planning to edit your audio, burn it to a high-quality CD, or use it as a soundtrack for a video project, WAV is the preferred choice. While the file sizes are significantly larger than WMA, WAV files preserve every detail of the audio waveform without any compression artifacts. Converting to WAV ensures that your subsequent edits and processing steps are performed on the highest quality foundation possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the WAV file so much larger than my WMA original?
WMA uses compression to shrink file sizes, while WAV is an uncompressed format. When you convert to WAV, the audio data is "unpacked" into its full, raw waveform, which naturally takes up much more storage space.
Is WAV better than WMA for editing?
Yes, absolutely. Professionals always prefer WAV for editing because it is uncompressed. Editing a compressed format like WMA can lead to further quality degradation with every save, whereas WAV remains pristine throughout the editing process.
