What sample rate and bit depth will the WAV have?

16-bit PCM at the sample rate of the source: usually 48 kHz for YouTube and other video, 44.1 kHz for most music files. We do not upsample or pad to 24-bit, because neither adds anything to a compressed source; it only makes the file bigger.

Can I convert only part of a video to WAV?

Yes. Type a start and an end under the link, like 2:05 and 2:40, and only those seconds are converted. A clip can be up to 60 minutes. A YouTube link that carries a timestamp, such as ?t=125, fills in the start for you.

How big is a WAV file?

About 10.6 MB per minute at 44.1 kHz stereo and 11.5 MB per minute at 48 kHz. A four-minute song comes to 42–46 MB and a one-hour podcast to 635–690 MB, which is why the Start and End fields are there.

Can I convert a Spotify or Apple Music link to WAV?

No. Both stream their music under DRM, and we do not get around copy protection for anyone. The same goes for private videos and anything behind a login.

What if the video has no sound?

Then there is nothing to put in a WAV, and the page tells you so instead of handing back an empty file. Pick MP4 on the home page to keep the picture.

Can I convert several links to WAV at once?

Not in one go yet. The bulk tab on the home page makes MP3 or MP4 files; for WAV, convert the links here one after another. Each WAV is kept for two hours, then deleted from our servers.

Link to WAV Converter

WAV is the format editors want: no compression to undo, cuts that land on the exact sample, and nearly every audio program can open it. This link to WAV converter takes the address of a video or an audio file, pulls the sound on our servers and hands back one WAV. It is free, needs no account and adds nothing to the audio.

Often you need ten seconds, not the whole hour. Type a start and an end under the link and the WAV holds only that stretch, which keeps a sample, a quote or a sound effect to a few megabytes. Leave both empty and you get everything.

StartEnd

Leave both empty for the whole video. Times like 1:30 or 1:05:00 — a link with a timestamp fills in the start.

What you get

16-bit PCM at the source rate
Plain uncompressed WAV, stereo when the source is, at the sample rate the source used: 48 kHz for most video, 44.1 kHz for most music. Nothing is resampled on the way.
Only the part you need
Type a start and an end and the WAV holds just those seconds. A 20-second sample from an hour-long stream is a 4 MB file, not a 700 MB one.
Opens in any editor
Audacity, GarageBand, FL Studio, Ableton, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve all read WAV directly, so there is no second conversion before you start cutting.
Free, no sign-up
No account, no watermark, and 60 free conversions an hour. What you download is an ordinary WAV file.

Will a WAV sound better than an MP3?

No, and a page that says otherwise is selling you megabytes. A WAV made from a link holds exactly the sound the source had. Video sites stream their audio compressed, so the WAV is that audio unpacked into plain samples: nothing lost in the conversion, but nothing brought back either.

The reason to want WAV is what happens next. Every time you cut an MP3 and export it again, it is compressed again and loses a little more. A WAV can be trimmed, layered, slowed down and exported as often as you like without that second loss, and editors load it without decoding first. If the file is going into a project, take WAV. If it is going into your ears, take MP3.

URL to WAV: which links work

URL and link mean the same thing here. A page link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit or one of the 1,000+ supported sites works, and so does a direct link to a file that ends in .mp3, .m4a, .flac, .ogg or .mp4. The file is fetched from wherever it lives and decoded to WAV on our side.

What does not work: private videos, anything that needs you to log in, and music services under DRM such as Spotify and Apple Music. A channel or playlist page lists many videos instead of being one; paste the link of the one video you want.

How to turn a link into a WAV file

Copy the link
Take the address from the share button or the address bar. A direct link to an audio file, one that ends in .mp3 or .m4a, works the same way.
Paste it, pick the part
Put the link in the box. Leave Start and End empty for all of it, or type times like 1:30 and 1:50 to keep only that stretch.
Download the WAV
Press convert and tap the download button when it appears, then drag the file into your editor.
