WAV stores sound as raw PCM samples. It is the working format of audio editors and DAWs, of voice-over and podcast production, and of many speech-to-text tools. Extracting a video's sound to WAV is the first step to clean up noise, level the volume, cut a podcast or sync a soundtrack.
The audio of an MP4 was compressed once, when the video was recorded or exported. Converting it to WAV decodes that sound and writes it uncompressed: it does not lose anything more, however many times you edit and save it afterwards.
Count about 10 MB per minute (48 kHz, 16-bit stereo): 60 MB for 6 minutes, 600 MB for an hour. If the file is for listening rather than editing, MP3 at 192 kbps is about seven times lighter.
Drag and drop the MP4 video onto the page, or browse to select it. Other video formats work too.
WAV is preselected. Choose the quality, and move the start / end handles if you only need part of the sound.
The file is ready in seconds, named after your video. Download it, or send it to the audio compressor.
Work on the WAV in your editor, and only export to MP3 or AAC at the very end: each lossy encode removes a little detail.
Only need a passage? Set the start and end handles before converting — a 1-hour WAV weighs around 600 MB.
