Turning OPUS voice notes into files everyone can play

What an .opus file is

Opus is a modern codec standardised by the IETF in 2012. It keeps speech clear at tiny bitrates, which is why WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord use it for voice messages. Those files usually end in .opus and many default players cannot open them.

Getting the file out of WhatsApp

On Android, voice notes are stored in a Voice Notes folder inside WhatsApp’s media folder, and the exact path depends on your Android version. On iPhone, open the message, share it and choose Save to Files or another app. Then upload that file here.

Why MP3 is the usual target

MP3 plays on practically everything: PCs, cars, speakers and old phones. Converting a voice note makes it easy to attach to an email, store in a folder or play where Opus is unsupported.

What to expect in quality

Both Opus and MP3 are lossy, so converting compresses the audio again. For speech the change is very hard to hear. Keep the original if the message is important.

Privacy reminder

Voice notes can be personal. Convert only recordings you own or have permission to use, and remember the original stays in your chat.

Not sure what format your file is? Check the extension: .opus belongs here, .ogg usually belongs on the OGG to MP3 page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a WhatsApp voice note to MP3?+

Save the voice note from the chat, upload the .opus file here, press Convert and download the MP3. On Android the file is in WhatsApp’s media folder. On iPhone, use Share and Save to Files first.

Where does WhatsApp save voice notes?+

On Android they are in a Voice Notes folder inside WhatsApp’s media folder, though the exact path varies by Android version. On iPhone they stay in the app until you share one to Files or another app.

What is an .opus file?+

It is audio encoded with the Opus codec, usually inside an Ogg container. WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord use it because it keeps speech clear at very small sizes.

Why won’t my .opus file play?+

Many default players, especially on Windows, macOS and iPhone, do not open .opus files. VLC does, and converting to MP3 makes the file play almost anywhere.

Will the MP3 sound worse than the OPUS?+

Slightly, since both are lossy and the audio is compressed again. For voice notes the difference is very hard to hear.

Can I convert Telegram voice messages?+

Telegram saves voice messages in an Ogg container with Opus audio. Many of those files convert here. If one does not, try the OGG to MP3 page.

Is there a file size limit?+

Yes. Files larger than 50 MB are not accepted. Voice notes are normally tiny, so this almost never matters.
