What Are MMF Files?
MMF (Multimedia Mobile File) is an audio format developed by Yamaha for mobile phones in the early 2000s. Also known as SMAF (Synthetic Music Mobile Application Format), these files were commonly used for ringtones on older feature phones from manufacturers like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and LG.
If you have old MMF files from a backup or an old phone, converting them to WAV lets you play them on any modern device or use them in audio editing software.
How to Convert MMF to WAV
- Upload your MMF file - Drag and drop or click to select your file
- Confirm WAV as output - WAV is selected for maximum compatibility
- Download your audio - Get your converted file instantly
The entire process runs in your browser. No software to install, no account required.
Why Convert to WAV?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is the universal standard for uncompressed audio. Unlike MMF, which only works on legacy mobile devices, WAV files play on virtually everything:
- Any computer - Windows, Mac, Linux all support WAV natively
- Modern phones - Both iOS and Android play WAV without issues
- Audio software - Every DAW and audio editor accepts WAV files
- Media players - From VLC to Windows Media Player
In our testing, WAV provides the cleanest conversion from MMF because it preserves audio without additional compression artifacts.
Common Use Cases
Preserving Old Ringtones
Have nostalgic ringtones from an old phone? Convert them to WAV to save them in a format that will remain accessible for decades.
Audio Editing
Need to edit or modify an MMF file? Converting to WAV first gives you a format that works in Audacity, Adobe Audition, GarageBand, and other audio tools.
Using on Modern Devices
Want to use an old ringtone on your current smartphone? Convert to WAV first, then set it as your ringtone through your phone's settings.
MMF vs WAV Comparison
These formats serve very different purposes:
- MMF - Compressed, small files, designed for 2000s-era phones with limited storage
- WAV - Uncompressed, larger files, universal compatibility across all devices
MMF files typically contain polyphonic audio synthesized from MIDI-like data. When converted to WAV, the audio is rendered as a standard waveform that any device can play. If you need a smaller file after conversion, consider MMF to MP3 instead.
