Import Discord and WebRTC Recordings Directly into Any DAW
Discord exports voice recordings as Opus. WebRTC call recorders save in Opus. Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and FL Studio do not include an Opus decoder — importing a .opus file fails silently or shows an unsupported format error. Converting to WAV first produces a file every DAW accepts without any plugin, codec pack, or workaround.

Clean Up Opus Voice Recordings with iZotope RX or Audacity
Podcast producers and broadcast engineers who need to remove background noise, de-ess vocals, reduce room reverb, or apply spectral repair to Discord or VoIP recordings must work from a WAV source. iZotope RX, Audacity, Adobe Audition, and every professional noise reduction tool require uncompressed PCM for their analysis algorithms to operate accurately.

Deliver Opus Voice-Overs and Recordings to Broadcast Spec
Broadcast delivery specifications for radio, TV, and streaming platforms universally require WAV at specific sample rates and bit depths. Voice-over recordings captured through WebRTC or VoIP tools in Opus format must be converted to WAV before submission to meet technical delivery requirements. WAV is the accepted format at every stage of the broadcast chain.

Deep Dive
Opus vs WAV: Streaming Codec vs Professional Working Format
Opus is built to minimize bandwidth. WAV is built to maximize compatibility with professional tools. When your Opus recording needs to be edited, processed, or delivered through a professional audio workflow, WAV is the right intermediate format.
Our converter uses FFmpeg to decode Opus to PCM and write a standard WAV file, preserving the original sample rate and channel count.
Why Convert Opus to WAV
Imports into Every DAW
WAV is the native working format for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reaper, and Audacity — no codec or plugin required.
Works with Noise Reduction Tools
iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, and Audacity noise reduction algorithms require uncompressed PCM input for accurate spectral analysis.
Loads into Hardware Samplers
Akai MPC, Native Instruments Maschine, and Roland SP-404 all require WAV. Convert your Opus samples before transferring to the device.
Fast Conversion
Most Opus files convert to WAV in under 30 seconds on dedicated FFmpeg servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my DAW not open Opus files directly?
Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, and most other professional DAWs do not include an Opus decoder in their standard audio import pipeline. Opus is a streaming codec that these tools were not designed to read. Converting to WAV first produces a file every DAW accepts natively without any third-party plugin.
Does converting Opus to WAV improve audio quality?
No. Converting Opus to WAV does not restore quality lost during the original Opus encoding. The WAV contains exactly what FFmpeg decoded from the Opus stream — no better, no worse than the Opus source. The benefit of WAV is that all subsequent editing and re-exporting introduces at most one additional quality penalty, rather than compounding on top of the existing Opus encoding.
Why is the WAV file much larger than the Opus?
Opus uses aggressive lossy compression to achieve very small file sizes. WAV stores uncompressed PCM data, which is 10 to 20 times larger. A 4-minute stereo Opus file at 96 kbps is roughly 2.8 MB; the same audio as WAV at 44.1 kHz stereo 16-bit is around 40 MB. This size difference is normal and expected.
Can I use the WAV with iZotope RX for noise reduction?
Yes. iZotope RX accepts WAV as its primary input format. Load the converted WAV into RX for spectral repair, voice de-noise, reverb reduction, de-essing, and any other restoration process. RX requires uncompressed PCM to perform accurate analysis, which is why converting Opus to WAV before opening in RX is necessary.
Does the WAV preserve the sample rate from the Opus file?
Yes. FFmpeg preserves the original sample rate and channel layout when decoding Opus to WAV. If the Opus file was recorded at 48 kHz stereo, the output WAV will be 48 kHz stereo. You can optionally resample in your DAW if the project requires a different sample rate.
Is there a file size limit?
The upload limit is 100 MB per file. Most Opus audio files are well within this limit.
