WebM is an open, royalty-free video format launched by Google in 2010 as part of the WebM Project. Based on the Matroska container, WebM pairs VP8, VP9, or AV1 video with Vorbis or Opus audio (typically 64-160 kbps). The format was designed specifically for HTML5 video delivery, offering efficient compression without patent licensing fees. Opus audio, in particular, achieves excellent quality at low bitrates—often matching MP3 quality at half the file size.

WebM files are commonly encountered from YouTube downloads (youtube-dl, yt-dlp), screen recorders, and web-based video tools. YouTube uses WebM as one of its primary delivery formats, making it a frequent source for audio extraction. While Chrome, Firefox, and Edge play WebM natively, other devices may lack support—extracting to MP3 or WAV ensures universal compatibility.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM in 1991. It stores raw PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio data, preserving every sample from the original recording without any quality loss. WAV supports 16/24/32-bit depth, sample rates from 8 kHz to 192 kHz (commonly 44.1/48 kHz), and up to 65,535 channels. It's the standard working format for audio professionals in recording studios, broadcast facilities, and sound design workflows worldwide.

The main tradeoff is file size: a 3-minute stereo track at CD quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit) is approximately 30 MB. While this makes WAV impractical for streaming or portable devices, it remains essential for editing, archiving, and any workflow where audio quality is paramount. Converting to MP3 reduces file size by 90% or more while maintaining perceptually transparent quality for most listeners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose WAV over MP3 for audio extraction?

WAV is lossless and uncompressed. When you extract to WAV, you preserve every bit of audio quality from the source video. This is ideal for professional audio work, archiving, or when you plan to process the audio further. MP3 re-encoding introduces quality loss, while WAV extraction doesn't.

How much larger are WAV files compared to MP3?

WAV files are typically 10-15x larger than equivalent MP3 files. A 5-minute audio track might be ~50 MB as WAV versus ~5 MB as MP3. This is the tradeoff for lossless quality. If file size matters more than quality, consider WebM to MP3 instead.

What bit depth and sample rate does the output use?

We output 16-bit PCM WAV at the source sample rate (typically 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz). This preserves full CD-quality audio. 16-bit is compatible with virtually all audio software and hardware.

Will I lose audio quality converting WebM to WAV?

No quality loss from the conversion itself. WAV is uncompressed, so the output contains exactly the audio data from your video. However, if the source audio was already compressed (Opus, Vorbis), you can't recover that lost quality-you get a lossless copy of the compressed audio.

How long does WebM to WAV conversion take?

Very fast. Audio extraction doesn't require video decoding, so processing time is typically just seconds even for long videos. WAV output is slightly slower than MP3 due to larger file sizes.

What video formats are supported?

We support WebM (.webm) container format developed by Google for web use. These can contain various video codecs (VP8, VP9, AV1) and audio codecs (Opus, Vorbis, MP3). The video track is discarded; only the audio is extracted.

When should I use WAV vs MP3 extraction?

Use WAV when: you need lossless quality, you'll process the audio further (mixing, editing), or you're archiving. Use MP3 when: file size matters, you're sharing online, or the audio will only be played back (not edited).

How long can my videos be?

Duration limits depend on your plan: Guest/Free: 120 minutes (2 hour), Pro: 600 minutes (10 hours), Business: 3000 minutes (50 hours).

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 1 credit per 5 minutes

How it works:

  • Files up to 5 minutes: 1 credit (minimum)
  • 6-10 minutes: 2 credits
  • 11-15 minutes: 3 credits
  • 16-20 minutes: 4 credits

Example: A 10-minute file = 1 credit. A 180-minute (3h) audiobook = 36 credits.

Why per-minute? Audio conversion time scales with content duration, not file size. Longer audio requires proportionally more processing.

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Free50 credits/day
Pro10,000 credits/month
Business30,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Free tier, including guests) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro & Business) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 1 credit per 5 minutes, video files under 5 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 10,000 video files per month.
