MP3 to PCM Converter

All processing happens in your browser. Files are never uploaded to any server.

Decode MP3 files into headerless raw PCM audio directly in your browser.

Raw PCM stores uncompressed samples without a WAV header. Choose the sample rate, mono or stereo channels, and an integer or floating-point sample format that matches the software, device, speech pipeline, or SDK that will read the output.

PCM files are much larger than MP3 because they are uncompressed. Converting an MP3 to PCM does not restore detail already removed by MP3 encoding; it only changes how the decoded samples are stored.

Typical use cases:

How to convert MP3 to PCM

  1. Choose one or more MP3 files.
  2. Keep PCM selected, then choose sample rate, mono or stereo, and the required bit depth or floating-point format.
  3. Convert the files and download each raw PCM result.

PCM output has no embedded header, so the downloaded filename includes the selected sample format, sample rate, and channel count. Match these settings when you open the file elsewhere.

MP3 to PCM FAQ

What is a raw PCM file?

It is a sequence of uncompressed audio samples with no container header. A player or program must be told the sample format, sample rate, and channel count.

Which PCM settings should I choose?

Use the exact settings required by the destination. A common speech format is signed 16-bit little-endian, 16000 Hz, mono; professional audio often uses 44100 or 48000 Hz and stereo.

Why will the PCM file be much larger than the MP3?

MP3 uses lossy compression. PCM stores every decoded sample directly, so its size is determined by duration, sample rate, channels, and bytes per sample.

Does MP3 to PCM improve audio quality?

No. Decoding avoids another lossy encoding step, but it cannot recover audio information removed when the MP3 was created.

How do I play the downloaded PCM file?

Import it as raw audio and enter the same sample format, rate, and channels shown in the filename. You can also choose WAV instead when you need a self-describing file.
