What does the AMR to WAV audio converter do?
+
AMR is already lossy, so converting to WAV preserves the existing audio without further degradation, but it cannot recover detail lost in the original encode. WAV is right if you plan to edit and resave without compounding compression artifacts.
Will the sample rate and channel layout be preserved?
+
By default yes — stereo stays stereo, the original sample rate (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, etc.) is carried through to the WAV output.
Will the WAV file be much larger than the source AMR?
+
Yes — lossless audio is typically 5-10x larger than lossy audio at perceptually equivalent quality. Plan for ~10 MB per minute for WAV versus ~1 MB per minute for high-bitrate AMR.
Will the WAV be larger than the AMR?
+
Yes — lossless containers store every byte. Expect the WAV to be 3-8x the size of the AMR. The benefit is no further quality loss on editing or re-encoding.
Is there a file-size limit when converting AMR to WAV?
+
Anonymous uploads are capped at a generous default; signed-in free accounts get a higher cap, and Pro accounts have no per-file limit. Browser memory is usually the practical constraint long before our server-side limits kick in.
Can I batch-convert several AMR files to WAV at once?
+
Yes. Drop or pick multiple AMR files in one upload — the converter processes them in parallel and returns a ZIP of the WAV results. There is no need to repeat the upload step per file.
What happens to my AMR files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files and WAV outputs are auto-deleted after a short retention window. We do not inspect, share, or train on user files. Direct download links are time-limited and tied to your session.
What apps can play a WAV file?
+
WAV plays in most music players, browsers, and media libraries. iTunes / Apple Music, VLC, Foobar2000, and phone media apps handle it natively.
Do I need to install software to convert AMR to WAV?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert AMR to WAV?
+
No. AMR to WAV conversion is free and works without an account. Signing in unlocks higher file-size caps, batch history, and API access.
Is there an API for AMR to WAV conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. AMR to WAV is one of the supported pairs.
What if my AMR fails to convert to WAV?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported AMR variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
