Frequently asked questions
How do I export a recording from Voice Memos?
Tap the recording, tap the three dots, choose Share, then Save to Files. Then choose that file here.
My memo uses the lossless setting. Does that matter?
Lossless memos use ALAC instead of AAC. They convert the same way, and you can choose FLAC to keep them lossless.
Which format should I convert to?
MP3 for playback anywhere, M4A for Apple devices, WAV or FLAC for editing and archiving, Opus for the smallest voice files.
Can I convert WhatsApp voice notes?
Yes. WhatsApp voice notes are Opus audio in an OGG container; drop them in and convert to MP3.
Does converting MP3 to WAV improve quality?
No. The WAV holds the same sound as the MP3, just uncompressed. It is useful for editors that need WAV, not for better quality.
Should I choose mono?
For speech, mono halves the file size with no loss in clarity. Keep stereo for music.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. FFmpeg converts it inside your browser.
Can I convert on my phone?
Yes. Audio conversion is light and quick in mobile browsers.
