About WAV

WAV (short for Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format that was originally developed by Microsoft and IBM. It is commonly used for recordings where the absolute highest quality recordings are needed. These files store raw audio data, metadata, and other formatting data. The lack of compression provisions built-in to this format means that file sizes tend to be on the bigger side compared to other audio formats. However, typically this isn’t a concern for users of this format since they are interested in its unmatched fidelity. WAV is well supported across all operating systems and most media players.

When was the WAV format created?

It was created in 1991 for use with Windows 3.1. Soon after it became the standard way to store clear, uncompressed audio on computers.

It’s entirely optional. We would only recommend it if you have a source file that you can’t hear well when playing back at normal volume levels.

Do you store my audio files?

We only store your files as long as it’s needed. We delete the source right after conversion finishes. The output file is deleted about 1 hour after the conversion has finished to allow ample time for download.
