VidverterHow to convert MP4 to WAV
- Click the box above or drag in your MP4 files.
- Keep "WAV" selected and choose the audio quality.
- Click "Convert" and download your WAV files.
Get the audio out of a MP4 video
Vidverter takes the soundtrack of your MP4 file and saves it as WAV, leaving the video behind. Handy for lectures, interviews, podcasts recorded on video, voice memos and music from your own recordings.
WAV stores uncompressed audio. It is perfect quality and easy to edit, but files are about ten times larger than MP3.
Choosing the audio quality
- WAV is uncompressed, so the quality setting does not apply. Expect about 10 MB per minute of stereo audio.
Good to know
- Only convert recordings you own or have permission to use.
- Processing speed depends on your device. A modern laptop usually converts video faster than real time. Changing only the container (for example MOV with H.264 to MP4) is almost instant because the video is copied, not re-encoded.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to extract WAV audio from MP4?
Yes. You can extract WAV audio from MP4 for free, 3 files at a time up to 250 MB each, with no sign-up and no watermark. Pro removes the file limit, handles files up to 2 GB and downloads everything as one ZIP.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Vidverter runs entirely in your browser and uses your device's own video encoders. Files never leave your computer or phone, so it is safe for private recordings, and there is no upload or download wait.
Which browsers work?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. Chrome and Edge are the fastest because they use hardware video encoders on most computers.
