Settings

The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

3g2

3G2 (3GPP2 file format) is a multimedia container developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 for use on CDMA2000 mobile networks. Built on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), it stores video encoded with H.263 or MPEG-4 Visual alongside audio in AMR, EVRC, or AAC codecs. The specification was first published in December 2003 to provide a standardized way for CDMA-based phones and networks to handle multimedia messaging and video playback. 3G2 files are engineered for extremely low-bandwidth conditions, achieving playable video quality at bit rates as low as 30-60 kbps. This makes the format especially efficient for mobile video capture on devices with limited processing power and storage. The container supports multiple tracks, timed text for subtitles, and embedded metadata. One significant benefit is near-universal compatibility with CDMA handsets from the mid-2000s era, ensuring reliable playback across a wide range of mobile devices. Though newer formats like MP4 have superseded 3G2 for most purposes, it remains useful for working with legacy mobile content and for situations where minimal file size is the primary concern.

w64

W64 (Wave64) is a 64-bit audio container originally designed by Sonic Foundry — creators of Sound Forge — and later maintained by Sony after acquiring Sonic Foundry's desktop software division in 2003. The format directly addresses the 4 GB file-size ceiling imposed by Microsoft's 32-bit RIFF/WAV specification, a limitation that becomes problematic during long recording sessions, multi-channel captures, or high-sample-rate productions. W64 achieves this by extending chunk identifiers and size fields to 64 bits, using GUIDs instead of four-character codes. This structural change permits files to reach sizes measured in exabytes, effectively removing any practical storage constraint. The format supports arbitrary sample rates, bit depths, and channel configurations, making it well suited for film scoring, live concert recording, and scientific data acquisition. Sound Forge, Audacity, and other professional digital audio workstations provide native W64 support for seamless import and export. For engineers and producers who routinely work with long-form, high-fidelity material, W64 offers the reliability and simplicity of WAV without the frustrating size restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of converting 3G2 to W64?

W64 handles very large uncompressed audio without WAV's size ceiling. Converting 3G2 to W64 targets studios working with lengthy, high-quality recordings.

How can I open W64 files?

W64 is supported by Sound Forge, Audacity, and audio editors that handle files exceeding 4 GB WAV limits.

Do I need to install anything?

The converter is completely web-based. No software, no plugins — just open convertio.tools in any modern browser and convert 3G2 to W64 directly.

How long does 3G2 to W64 conversion take?

Our cloud servers handle the processing quickly. Typical 3G2 recordings convert to W64 in under a minute, though larger files naturally take longer.

Can I batch convert multiple 3G2 files?

Batch conversion is supported. Add multiple 3G2 recordings and convert them to W64 simultaneously — our servers handle them in parallel.

Does converting 3G2 to W64 lose quality?

Some quality loss is normal with lossy compression, but at adequate settings the difference from the original 3G2 audio is barely noticeable.
