Which DAT files can be converted to WAV?
DAT is a filename extension used by many kinds of files. Some DAT recordings contain audio or MPEG video with an audio track, such as AVSEQ01.DAT from a Video CD. This tool checks the uploaded file for readable audio and converts the first audio track to WAV. The video is left out.
A DAT file containing software settings, a database or other app data has no audio to extract. Renaming it to WAV will not turn it into a recording. Encrypted, damaged or unsupported recordings may also fail; keep the original file and try another recording if you see an error.
How to convert a DAT recording
Choose or drop a .dat file up to 100 MB, then select Convert to WAV. You can listen to the result before downloading it. The file does not need to play in your browser before conversion.
The download uses uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio and keeps the first audio track's sample rate and channel count. It can be much larger than the DAT file. Conversion does not restore detail already lost in the original recording.
Have an MP3, M4A, FLAC or another audio format instead? Use Change Format. To keep a shorter part of the converted recording, use Trim Audio.
