A SoundCloud to WAV converter that works online, on any computer, with nothing to install. Paste a SoundCloud URL and get a real 16-bit WAV file with its title and cover art.
Use the converter
The converter takes any public SoundCloud link. Here is all you need to do.
Copy the link of the track from your browser's address bar, or from Share and Copy link in the app.
Paste the URL into the box at the top and press Convert. The track loads with its artwork and length.
WAV is already selected. Press download and the converted file is saved straight to your device.
Inside the converter
No black box. These are the exact stages your track goes through between the link you paste and the WAV on your device.
01 · Link
Checks that the link points to a public track and finds its audio stream.
02 · Stream
Downloads the same public stream SoundCloud plays in your browser.
03 · Decode
Unpacks the compressed stream into raw audio, without changing how it sounds.
04 · WAV
Stores the audio as uncompressed 16-bit PCM at the source sample rate.
05 · Tags
Places the song title and cover art inside the WAV file.
06 · Done
Your browser saves the file, and our temporary copy is deleted.
FFmpeg is the open-source audio engine used by most professional converters. Using it means your WAV has correct headers that DJ software and DAWs read without errors.

Desktop apps make sense if you convert hundreds of tracks every week. For most people, an online SoundCloud to WAV converter is the simplest and safest choice, because nothing is installed on your computer.
Checklist
Whichever converter you use, check these six things. SCSaver is built to pass all of them.
A real 16-bit stereo WAV is about 10 MB per minute. If a 5-minute "WAV" is only 5 MB, it is an MP3 with a new name.
A broken header makes DJ software show the wrong length or refuse the file. Good converters write standard RIFF WAV headers.
No converter can add detail the SoundCloud stream doesn't have. Be careful with promises of "HD" or "320kbps" WAV.
You should get the song title as the file name and the artwork inside the file, not "download (7).wav".
A safe online converter never asks you to run an .exe or install an extension, and has one real download button.
A good converter handles a two-hour DJ mix as easily as a three-minute single.

Guide
It is a tool that takes a SoundCloud URL and turns the track into a WAV file. SoundCloud only streams compressed audio, so the converter decodes that stream and saves it as uncompressed PCM, the format DJ software, DAWs and audio editors work with best.
A SoundCloud to WAV converter for PC has to be installed, kept up to date and trusted with access to your computer. An online converter runs on a server, so it works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux and even phones, and it is updated for you whenever SoundCloud changes.
Some sites advertise free WAV conversion, but many make their money from aggressive ads, pop-ups or renamed MP3 files. SCSaver keeps MP3 conversion free and includes WAV in a small one-time Supporter pass, which pays for the servers without ads.
Common tips you will find in DJ forums and on Reddit: avoid converters that need an installer, check that the WAV has a realistic file size, and get the artist's original file when they offer it. This converter is built around the same rules.
The converter works one track at a time, which keeps each WAV fast and reliable. To convert a playlist, copy each track link from SoundCloud and paste them in turn. Whole playlists can be downloaded as a ZIP of MP3s with a Supporter pass.
Use converted WAV files for personal listening, practice and editing. Before playing someone else's work in public or using it in a release, get the artist's permission.
It reads the public audio stream of the track, decodes it with FFmpeg and writes it as an uncompressed 16-bit WAV file with the title and cover art.
WAV conversion is part of the Supporter pass, a one-time payment from $3. Converting to MP3 is free and needs no account.
No. It is an online converter that runs in any browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android.
The best one is the one that gives you a real WAV with correct headers, no installers and honest quality claims. Use the checklist on this page to judge any converter, including ours.
No converter can. The WAV keeps every detail of the SoundCloud stream without any further loss, but it can't add detail that was not streamed.
Yes. Open this page in your mobile browser, paste the URL and convert. WAV files are large, so make sure you have space on your phone.
Yes. Long mixes take a little longer to convert because there is more audio, and the WAV will be about 600 MB per hour.
Only while it is being converted. The temporary copy is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
