About WAV and OPUS Formats

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

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

Why convert WAV to OPUS?

Opus delivers the best quality per kilobyte of any common codec, ideal for voice and web streaming.
