Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
WAV files are about ten times larger than an MP3 of the same recording. WMA plays in old Windows software and some older portable players. WAV is at home in recording, editing and mastering; WMA is the usual choice for legacy Windows music libraries. WMA is lossy, so keep the WAV original if you may need full quality later.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate and trim the start and end.
This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because WMA cannot be written by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB. WMA is written at 128 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.
WAV stores audio as raw, uncompressed samples. Nothing is lost, which makes it the standard working format in audio editing, and files run to about 10 MB per minute at CD quality.

No. The WAV to WMA conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
WMA is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can choose the bitrate under Options.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the WAV file, press Convert and save the WMA. There is nothing to install.
Yes. WAV to WMA runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
