Why convert MP3 to WAV?

WAV is useful when an editor, sampler, or other audio workflow requires uncompressed PCM input. It also avoids another lossy encode when you make later edits.

What happens to quality?

Converting an MP3 to 16-bit PCM WAV does not restore detail discarded by the original MP3 encoding. The result will usually be much larger while sounding the same as the source.

Browser limitations

Decoding and WAV encoding happen in browser memory, with no upload. Support depends on the browser decoding the source MP3; long files can require substantial memory and may be slower on mobile devices.
