How to convert VIDEO to WAV
Extracting audio from a video file as WAV gives you uncompressed audio suitable for professional audio editing, transcription services, broadcast deliverables, and DAW imports. WAV files contain raw PCM audio data without any lossy compression, which makes them the standard import format for tools like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Audacity. The video's visual content is discarded; only the audio track is extracted and saved.
This conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video file is decoded locally and the audio track is extracted and encoded as WAV. No data is uploaded to a server and there is no server-imposed file size limit, making it practical for large video files.
Upload your video file
Select an MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MKV, or other common video format. The WebAssembly demuxer reads the file locally.
Set WAV parameters
Choose the sample rate (44.1 kHz for music, 48 kHz for video/broadcast) and bit depth (16-bit standard, 24-bit for professional audio).
Extract the audio
The converter demuxes the video, decodes the audio track, and writes it as uncompressed WAV. Progress is shown during processing.
Download the WAV
Save the .wav file and import it into your DAW, transcription tool, or broadcast delivery system.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video file uploaded to a server?
No. The extraction uses a WebAssembly-compiled media demuxer running in your browser. Your video file is processed locally.
Why extract audio as WAV rather than MP3?
WAV is uncompressed and lossless. Audio editing software and broadcast systems require WAV because processing compressed formats introduces generation loss (each re-encode degrades quality slightly). WAV files are the preferred working format even when the final delivery may be in a compressed format.
How large will the WAV file be?
WAV file size = duration in seconds x sample rate x bit depth x channels / 8 bytes per bit. A 10-minute video with stereo 48 kHz 24-bit audio produces approximately 10 x 60 x 48000 x 24 x 2 / 8 = 864 MB. Budget significant space for long videos.
What if the video has multiple audio tracks?
The converter extracts the default (primary) audio track. Videos with multiple tracks (like multi-language films) require a tool with explicit track selection, such as FFmpeg with the -map 0:a:1 flag.
Can I extract audio from YouTube-downloaded videos?
If you have the video file on your device, yes. This tool does not access or download from YouTube or any streaming service. It only processes files you upload from your local storage.
