Does mono to stereo create true stereo separation?
No. It duplicates the same mono signal into left and right channels. The output is a two-channel file, but both channels contain the same spatial information.
Copy a mono recording into matching left and right channels and export a two-channel audio file.

This flips waveform polarity; it does not play the audio backward. To repair left/right cancellation, invert one channel, not both.
Converting mono to stereo duplicates the same mono signal into the left and right channels. This creates a two-channel file for compatibility, but it does not add stereo separation or new spatial detail.
A two-channel output can help when an editor, player, streaming service, or production workflow expects stereo input even though the source contains only one channel.
Both output channels contain the same waveform. To create audible width, process the channels differently with delay, equalization, or other effects after conversion.

Use it when an editor, player, streaming service, or delivery specification expects two channels even though the recording itself is mono.
The sound should remain centered because the two output channels match. File size may increase because two channels are stored, depending on the selected format and encoder.
