What is a WAV file?

WAV – WAV audio. WAV is uncompressed audio from Microsoft and IBM: every sample is kept, so files are large (about 10 MB a minute) and editing programs love them. Converting makes a new file: the sound is decoded and written again, so converting from a lossy format never brings back what was lost.

Are my audio or video files uploaded anywhere?

These conversions run on our server, because they need ffmpeg, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
