Select a Video

Choose the WAV Audio Settings
Keep the automatic sample rate and channel layout or choose 22.05, 44.1, or 48 kHz and mono or stereo output.
Extract and Download
Start audio extraction, review the original video and WAV file sizes, and download the completed WAV file.
How Does the Video to WAV Converter Work?
The CompressFly video to WAV converter reads the first audio stream in your selected video, leaves out the picture, and decodes the sound into an uncompressed 16-bit PCM WAV file. You can keep the automatic sample rate and channel layout or select the available audio settings before extraction.
Audio extraction runs directly in your browser. Your video is not uploaded to a server, and the completed WAV file downloads from the browser to your device.
What "directly in your browser" means
- Your video is not uploaded to a server.
- Audio extraction and WAV encoding run locally on your device.
- The completed WAV file downloads directly from your browser.
When to Convert Video to WAV
Extract WAV audio when you need an uncompressed PCM working file instead of the video's picture or a compact listening format.
Edit Audio in Production Software
Create a PCM WAV working file for an audio editor, digital audio workstation, or video post-production workflow.
Use Tools That Require WAV
Prepare audio for speech analysis, waveform processing, transcription, or production software that explicitly requests WAV input.
Create an Audio-Only Working Copy
Save dialogue, music, or recorded sound separately when the video track is unnecessary for later editing or processing.
