What are the differences between MP3 and WAV files?

MP3 is the most common file type for audio because of its efficient compression, making it ideal for the web. While compressing files reduces file size—making uploading and downloading quicker—it also causes data loss. Audio downloaded in MP3 loses its original quality. WAV audio files, on the other hand, aren't compressed, which preserves audio quality. While the file size is larger, WAV audio offers more options for editing.
