Tags and cover artTitle, artist, album and cover carried over where OPUS holds them; lyrics and some rarer tags aren’t yet

Questions

How do I convert WAV to OPUS?

Drop your WAV file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the OPUS downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the audio editor.

Is my WAV file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Will I lose quality?

OPUS is a compressed format, and Anyfile saves at high quality, so the difference is very hard to notice. For no loss at all, keep the WAV.

Can I convert several WAV files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every OPUS inside.
