Simply upload your raw-audio files and click the convert button. You can also batch convert raw-audio to AMR format.
We use both open source and custom software to make sure our conversions are of the highest quality. In most cases, you can fine-tune conversion parameters using “Advanced Settings” (optional, look for the icon).
Our raw-audio to AMR Converter is free and works on any web browser. We guarantee file security and privacy. Files are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption and automatically deleted after 8 hours.
Raw-audio is a headerless PCM sound file: nothing but the digital samples themselves, with no metadata, no compression, and no marker identifying where the audio begins. A WAV file is essentially the same data with a short descriptive header attached. Raw-audio appears most often as the output of audio hardware, DSP pipelines, and telephony systems, and as the intermediate stage between processing steps.
Import it into Audacity using File → Import → Raw Data. You will be asked for the encoding, byte order, channel count, and sample rate, since the file itself does not record them.
Common defaults are 16-bit signed PCM at 44,100 Hz or 48,000 Hz; telephony recordings are frequently 8-bit at 8,000 Hz. FFmpeg and SoX can play and convert raw-audio from the command line once you supply the same parameters. Save the result as WAV or MP3 so the settings travel with the file from then on. You can also convert the file with our RAW to MP3 tool.

Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) is a compressed audio file that is often used for speech coding. The AMR speech codec focuses on narrowband signals, which makes it ideal for voice recordings and radio. It is used regularly in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).
Since AMR files are often used on mobile phones, including for MMS messaging, most 3G mobile devices are able to open them. AMR also opens with VLC media player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Xine.
Other software, such as the free audio-editing software Audacity, can open AMR files. Download audacity easily at SourceForge.net. Because AMR files are heavily compressed and focused on narrowband signals, they are not suitable for music files.
Developed by: 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
Initial Release: 1999
