XM to WV Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
XM is the FastTracker II module format — the tracker scene's workhorse, with instruments, envelopes and effects baked into the file. Convert WV albums to FLAC for maximum compatibility.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the XM format
XM (Extended Module) is FastTracker II's evolution of MOD: 16-bit samples, volume/panning envelopes, arpeggio and effect columns — the tracker format that scored the demoscene of the late 90s and still powers chip music communities.
Rendering XM to MP3/WAV through libopenmpt's engine reproduces the song with its instruments and effects intact — the same interpretation FT2 users heard, normalized into a universally playable waveform.
+Strengths
- ✓16-bit samples and rich effects
- ✓Standard of the late-90s demo scene
- ✓Accurate libopenmpt rendering
!Limitations
- −Not a waveform — interpretation required
- −Filter quirks vary between players
- −Compression is minimal
About the WV format
WavPack's signature trick is the hybrid mode: encode once into a small lossy .wv plus a tiny .wvc correction file — together they are bit-exact lossless, apart the small file plays like a high-quality MP3. It also offers pure lossless and pure lossy modes in the same container.
Full WavPack files decode losslessly through ffmpeg into FLAC or WAV; hybrid correction files are handled by the original encoder only, so a .wvc alone cannot be restored.
+Strengths
- ✓Unique hybrid lossy+correction mode
- ✓Fast decode, open source
- ✓Error-robust streaming modes
!Limitations
- −Ratios slightly behind APE
- −.wvc correction files are orphaned here
- −Hardware support rare
Why convert XM to WV?
There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Not a waveform — interpretation required WV sidesteps that — Unique hybrid lossy+correction mode If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this XM to WV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for XM to WV?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I convert a whole folder of XM files?
You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
Will converting XM to WV reduce audio quality?
If WV is lossless, the output contains everything the XM file contains — no further loss is added. If WV is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
