# MP3 to WAV

ToolSugar converts an MP3 to an uncompressed 16-bit WAV in your browser, for software that needs plain PCM audio. A WAV made from an MP3 will not sound better, because the data the MP3 discarded cannot return. Expect a file around seven times bigger at 192 kbps. Nothing is uploaded. The first run downloads a 32 MB engine.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose the MP3.
2. Press convert to WAV. There are no settings to choose.
3. Download the WAV.
4. Open it in your editor, sampler or burning software.

## Key facts

- **Output**: 16-bit PCM WAV, at the sample rate and channel count of the MP3.
- **File size**: About 10.6 MB per minute for 44.1 kHz stereo.
- **Quality**: The WAV holds the decoded MP3. Nothing is restored.

## Common uses

- Loading a track into a sampler or DAW that wants WAV.
- Preparing audio for burning to an audio CD.
- Meeting a submission form that asks for WAV.

## Questions

### Will this improve my MP3?

No. WAV holds the decoded sound exactly as the MP3 gives it, in a much bigger file.

### Is it 24-bit?

No. The output is always 16-bit.
