About MP4 to WAV Conversion
Extract the audio track from an MP4 video and save it as lossless WAV. WAV is the format DAWs and audio editors prefer — convert your MP4 to WAV when you need to work with the audio in software like Audacity, Logic, Ableton, or Pro Tools.
When you might convert MP4 to WAV
- DAW import. Audacity, Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools — they all prefer WAV. Convert MP4 audio for clean editing.
- Audio mastering. Pull the audio out of an MP4 master, mix or master it in WAV, then re-encode as needed.
- Archival. WAV preserves audio bit-for-bit. Convert your video's audio to WAV for a stable, future-proof copy.
- Sample extraction. Capture a sound from a video reference and bring it into a sample library as WAV.
WAV files are large — about 10 MB per minute of stereo audio at 44.1 kHz. If file size matters, FLAC gives lossless quality at about 55% the size.

- No sign-up, no ads, no watermarks.
- Multiple output formats. Switch the dropdown to export as WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, or M4A instead of WAV.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert MP4 to WAV online?▼
Drop your MP4 video onto the page and click Extract. The WAV downloads to your device. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Is my video uploaded?▼
No. All extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your MP4 file never leaves your device. See our privacy policy.
Why is the first extraction slower?▼
FFmpeg loads on first use (a ~25 MB WebAssembly module). After that, all subsequent extractions in the same browser session are fast.
