About OPUS and WAV Formats

What is OPUS?

Opus was standardised by the IETF in 2012 (RFC 6716). It handles both speech and music at low bitrates with very low latency, and is used by WhatsApp, Discord, WebRTC and YouTube.

Commonly used for:

  • WhatsApp and Telegram voice messages
  • Discord and video calls
  • Streaming audio

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert OPUS to WAV?

Voice messages saved as .opus often will not open in editors, transcription tools or Windows Media Player; WAV will.

OPUS is a lossy compressed format, typically 1-2.5 MB per minute. WAV is uncompressed (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality), so the WAV will usually be 5-10x larger.
