How do I convert a WMA file to AMR?

Upload your WMA file to the converter, choose AMR as the output format, and click Convert. The tool re-encodes the audio from WMA's Windows Media codec to the AMR-NB speech codec, then lets you download the result. Batch conversion works for multiple WMA files.

Why would I convert WMA to AMR instead of keeping WMA?

AMR is a narrowband speech codec optimized for voice, so it cuts file size by up to 80% compared to WMA at typical bitrates. It's also the standard format for voicemail, IVR systems, and older mobile phones that don't support WMA playback.

Will conversion to AMR degrade my audio quality?

AMR re-encodes speech in 20-millisecond frames at bitrates from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps, so the original WMA's sample rate and stereo width are resampled to 8 kHz mono. For music, this causes clear loss of high frequencies and stereo imaging; for voice recordings, intelligibility is preserved. Bitrate is not retained—it's converted to AMR's fixed frame structure.
