About the Opus to WAV Converter
Convert Opus to WAV online for free, with no account and no watermark. Many players and editors cannot open Opus voice notes, so switching to WAV is the quickest way to get uncompressed WAV for editing for audio editing, studio work, broadcast, transcription tools and sound effects.
Audio and video are processed by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, the same open-source engine behind VLC and HandBrake, running inside your browser tab. Because everything happens on your own device, your audio files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for voice recordings, interviews and unreleased music.
What to expect: the sample rate and channels are kept, and you can pick the bitrate; converting lossy Opus to WAV stops further loss but cannot restore detail that was removed earlier; the processing engine (about 30 MB) is downloaded once and then cached by your browser.
How to use the Opus to WAV Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your Opus audio files onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Choose mono or stereo; WAV is saved as uncompressed 16-bit PCM.
- Press "Convert to WAV". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each WAV file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Audacity or Adobe Audition to check it; your original Opus is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- WAV is uncompressed 16-bit PCM, so it is large but loses nothing further and edits cleanly.
- Converting a compressed Opus to WAV will not bring back detail that was already discarded; it simply prevents further loss when you edit.
- As a guide, one minute of audio at 128 kbps is about 1 MB, and at 320 kbps about 2.4 MB.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the WAV to a website or government portal.
