About the WAV format
WAV (Waveform Audio) stores audio uncompressed as raw PCM samples, exactly as it was recorded or decoded. It is the standard for recording, editing and mastering because nothing is lost, and it plays everywhere. The price is size: a minute of CD-quality stereo takes about 10 MB.
About the OGG format
OGG Vorbis is a free, open lossy audio format that sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate. It is common in games, on Wikipedia and in open-source software, and every desktop browser plays it, though Apple devices needed third-party apps for a long time.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert WAV to OGG?
OGG Vorbis is free of patents and sounds better than MP3 at the same size. WAV files are huge, about 10 MB per minute, which makes them impractical to send or stream.
Does converting WAV to OGG lose quality?
OGG uses lossy compression, so a little detail is discarded to make the file smaller. At 192 kbps or higher the difference is inaudible for most listeners; choose 320 kbps for the safest result.
Which bitrate should I choose?
192 kbps is transparent for most music and the default here. Use 320 kbps to archive or for critical listening, and 128 kbps for speech, where the difference is inaudible and the file is a third smaller.
How much smaller will the OGG file be?
A lot. WAV stores far more data than OGG needs: a typical song shrinks by 80 to 90 percent at 192 kbps.
Can I convert several WAV files at once?
Yes. Add up to 5 files of up to 200 MB each, convert them in one go and download the results one by one or as a ZIP.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your WAV files never leave your device.
Is this WAV to OGG converter free?
Yes, completely, with no sign-up and no watermark. The site is supported by ads.
