How to convert an MP3 to WAV on Android with Chrome

Open an MP3 saved on your Android phone, convert the whole track to WAV with QuickEdit and find the result in Chrome downloads.

Open the converter in QuickEdit

The editor interface is in Spanish for now. Button names appear in Spanish, followed by their meaning in English.

Find the MP3 on your Android phone

Look for the audio in Files or in the file manager that came with your phone. If you downloaded it with Chrome, open More → Downloads to find it by name. The name of the files app and its categories can vary by manufacturer. Find files on Android, Google Help.

To test the whole process, start with a short MP3 that already plays on the phone. QuickEdit web accepts mono or stereo MP3 and WAV files up to five minutes and 64 MiB each. If the picker does not show your track, go back to the file manager to confirm where it was saved and that the file ends in .mp3.

Convert the whole MP3

  1. Open the Recorte (trim) tab of QuickEdit in Chrome, tap Abrir archivo (open file) and choose the MP3.
  2. Leave Inicio (segundos) (start, seconds) at zero and Final (segundos) (end, seconds) at the length the editor shows. Keep the fades at zero and the gain at 0 dB. That way the copy includes the whole track.
  3. Use Escuchar edición (play edit) to check the audio and tap Descargar WAV (download WAV). QuickEdit converts the sound in the browser to 24-bit, 48 kHz PCM WAV and keeps mono or stereo as in the original. The copy starts from the audio already compressed in the MP3.

Check the downloaded file

Go back to Chrome → More → Downloads. If you loaded beat.mp3, look for beat.edit.wav. Open it and check that the ending plays. From the file menu you can Share it. If you are going to copy it to a computer, keep the MP3 as well. One minute of stereo WAV with these settings takes about 16.5 MiB. Manage downloads in Chrome for Android, Google Help.
