Convert to ALAW

ALAW is a voice-focused audio format often used for phone recordings and phone system audio. Choose it when you need clear speech and a format that certain phone tools expect.

• •Great for voices: keeps speech clear and easy to understand, ideal for call recordings and voicemail.
• •Works well for storing and editing voice clips in a simple, consistent way.
• •Easy to convert: you can change .alaw files to more common formats (and back) without much hassle.
• •Limited compatibility: most browsers and many phones won’t play .alaw files, so you may need to convert before sharing.
• •Files aren’t especially small compared to formats like MP3, so it’s not the best choice if you need tiny file sizes.
• •Best when required by a phone system or recorder; for everyday listening or music, use a more common format.
