About this tool

WhatsApp saves voice messages as .opus or .ogg files, which many players, cars and editing apps won't open. Drop one or several voice notes and get MP3 files you can keep, edit or email.

When to use it

Keep an important message

A message from a loved one, work instructions or a memory: as an MP3 it plays on any device.

Transcribe or edit

Transcription and editing apps accept MP3 with no extra setup.

Share outside WhatsApp

Email the note or add it to a document, a presentation or a podcast.

How to use

  1. Get the voice notes from your phone (see the help under the drop area).
  2. Drop one or more .opus or .ogg files.
  3. Pick the quality: 96 kbps is plenty for voice.
  4. Click “Convert”, then download the MP3s one by one or as a ZIP.

How it works

Each file is decoded and re-encoded to MP3 in your browser; voice notes are never uploaded to a server.

WhatsApp file names (PTT-YYYYMMDD-WA0001) are kept, and the date the note was sent is shown next to it.

Notes are converted one after the other; if one fails, the others are still produced.

Tips for best results

  • For voice, 64 or 96 kbps gives a small, clear file; use 128 kbps for music.
  • On a computer, WhatsApp Web lets you download a voice note from its menu.
  • Files are sorted in the order they were sent, thanks to the WA number.
  • For the audio of a video, use “MP4 to MP3”.

Common problems and fixes

Conversion fails on iPhone or Mac

Some Safari versions cannot decode Opus. Open the page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.

I can't find the notes on Android

They are in Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Voice Notes, in weekly folders. Use a file manager.

A file is rejected

It may contain no audio or be damaged. Export it again from WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

What format are WhatsApp voice notes?

Opus audio in a .opus or .ogg file: very small, but rarely supported outside messaging apps.

Are my voice messages uploaded?

No. Conversion runs in your browser and the files stay on your device.

Can I convert many voice notes at once?

Yes, as many as you like, and download them all in one ZIP.

Will the quality drop?

At 96 kbps the voice stays as clear as in WhatsApp, which records at a lower bitrate.

Does it work with Telegram or Signal?

Yes, for the .ogg and .opus files those apps export.
