The .amr filename extension refers to the adaptive multi-rate audio codec initially released in 1999. The format is typically used to encode speech audio and is optimized for this purpose. It can encode speech into one of two file version, either AMR-NB (narrow Band) or AMR-WB (Wide Band) which supports a broader frequency. Because of its optimization for speech audio, the format has been widely adopted as the standard speech codec for GSM and UMTS mobile phone networks by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project ' a collaborative group of organizations in the telecommunications industry.
The data compression to get a lossless audio, a file format and an algorithm used is APE, also known as Monkey's Audio. This compression can retain data and not suffer losses during its compression as opposed to the other compressions with losses such as MP3, Musepack, ACC, and Vorbis. It encodes and compresses the audio to reduce transfer time, storage space. The audio extension APE is used for an audio file to track the metadata. The format is available freely for users possessing media players and playback plugins.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for AMR to APE conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload AMR files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized APE results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent APE audio with dependable progress tracking.
AMR format encodes narrow band signals between 200 and 3400 hertz at a maximum bitrate of 12.2 kilobits per second. The format employs the ACELP ' Algebraic code-excited linear prediction algorithm, a proprietary speech encoding method created by the VoiceAge Corporation.
The source code for APE is not considered as an open source. It has a symmetrical algorithm, a process of an encoding comparable decoding which makes the files not suitable for fast players for example Rockbox. To cover this, an independent GPL code is written for and is added in FFmpeg. It also provides limited support to software other than the ones for Windows.
Upload your audio file in the AMR format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select APE as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted audio file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
