Why your audio never leaves your computer
Online converters upload your file to their servers, convert it there and send it back. That is slow for long recordings, so free plans cap the length or the number of files, and your recording sits on someone else's computer.
Here your own computer does the work, inside this tab. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing to cap: no length limit, no daily limit and no sign-up.
Questions
The file has an unusual ending and will not play. Will it work?
Yes. Drop the file as it is, whatever its ending; the tool reads WhatsApp voice notes directly.
How big is the MP3?
Small: a one-minute voice note comes to about 1.4 MB at "Very good". "Good" is plenty for speech.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Choose or drop several files together. They are converted one after another with the same settings, and you can download each one or all of them in one ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your computer does the work, so a file costs us nothing to convert. No account and no limits.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is converted inside this browser tab and saved straight back to your computer.
Which browsers work?
Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari on a computer.
Can I use a video file?
Yes. Drop a video and you get its sound.
