Convert WAV to OGG

About WAV and OGG

WAV is uncompressed PCM audio — the raw samples with a small header. It is the standard interchange format for recording, sampling and production work, at the cost of roughly 10 MB per minute of stereo.

OGG Vorbis is a free, open lossy codec that beats MP3 at equivalent bitrates. It is common in game audio and open-source software, and every modern browser plays it.

Converting WAV to OGG is lossy. 192 kbps is transparent for most listeners on most material; pick 320 kbps for the ceiling, or drop lower when small files matter more than fidelity.

How the conversion works

This tool runs FFmpeg — the same engine behind most media software — compiled to WebAssembly, entirely in the browser. The file is read locally, converted locally and saved straight from memory; nothing is ever uploaded, which also means no queues and no server-side file size limits.

The converter itself is a one-time ~31 MB download on the first conversion, cached by the browser afterwards. Once it is loaded, everything works offline.
