What is WAV?

Waveform Audio (.wav). WAV is Microsoft's audio container, almost always holding uncompressed PCM samples. Nothing is thrown away, so it is the usual format for recording and editing, but a minute of CD-quality stereo takes about 10 MB.

Common use: Recording, audio editing, sound effects, CD ripping

Output format

What is OPUS?

Opus Audio (.opus). Opus is an open, royalty-free codec standardised by the IETF in 2012. It sounds very good at low bitrates for both speech and music, and it is the codec of WebRTC video calls and many voice-message apps.

Common use: Voice messages, calls, streaming, podcasts

Questions about WAV to OPUS

Is converting WAV to OPUS free?
Yes, one file at a time: the converter on this page runs in your browser, files up to 100 MB, no sign-up. The Filoshi desktop app ($29 once, for Windows) converts many files at once and has no size limit.
Does converting WAV to OPUS lose quality?
Yes, a little. OPUS is a lossy format, so some detail is thrown away when the file is saved. Filoshi uses a high-quality setting by default, and you can choose the bitrate in the file viewer.
Is my WAV file uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter on this page runs in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly; your WAV file is read and converted on your device and never sent to a server. The desktop app works the same way, offline.
Has WAV to OPUS been tested?
Yes. WAV to OPUS is one of the 1,841 conversions that passed Filoshi's automated test matrix on Windows 11.
Can I convert many WAV files at once?
Yes, in the desktop app. Drop as many WAV files as you like on the window, pick OPUS once for all of them, and each file shows its own progress. The new files appear next to the originals, which are never changed.
