What is WAV?
WAV stores uncompressed audio: perfect quality, but around 10 MB per minute at CD quality. It's the format of choice for editing and for some upload forms.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the universal compressed audio format: lossy, small, and playable on practically every device, car stereo and upload form.
What changes when you convert WAV to MP3
MP3 is lossy, so fine detail is simplified to save space; the quality setting controls the trade-off. Expect a smaller file than the WAV in most cases.
Does converting WAV to MP3 reduce quality?
MP3 is lossy, so some fine detail is traded for a much smaller file. Use a higher quality setting to keep more.
Will the MP3 be smaller than the WAV?
Usually, yes — MP3 typically stores the same content in less space. The result screen shows the before and after sizes.
Can I convert several WAV files at once?
Yes — up to 20 files of 2 GB each in one go. Several results download together as a ZIP.
Is my video safe?
Yes. Your video is only used to create your result — it’s never shared and never used to train AI.
