Why convert WAV to OGG?
You have a large WAV file (studio recording, software export, CD archive) and you want a small OGG to listen to on your phone, send by email or publish online. Choose 256 or 320 kbps to keep excellent quality.
How to do it, step by step
- Drop your WAV fileinto the area at the top of the page (or several files at once). On mobile, tap the area and pick the file from your apps.
- Check the output format: OGG is already selected. For music, 192 kbps is transparent for most listeners and 320 kbps gives the maximum. For voice (memos, podcasts, lectures), 128 kbps is more than enough and halves the file size.
- Start the conversion.The FFmpeg engine loads once (≈ 10 MB), then each file is processed in a few seconds without leaving your device.
- Download your OGG, directly or as a .zip if you converted several files. The name and metadata (title, artist, cover art) are preserved.
The WAV format (Waveform Audio File Format)
WAV is an uncompressed format: it stores raw audio, exactly like a CD. The quality is perfect but the files are large (about 10 MB per minute at CD quality). It is the reference format for audio editing, music production, transcription and professional software.
- No quality loss
- Read by every audio application
- Ideal for editing and transcription
- Very large files
- No standardized metadata (title, artist)
The OGG format (Ogg Vorbis)
OGG Vorbis is a free and open format, a competitor to MP3, widely used in video games, on Wikipedia, Spotify (internally) and on Linux. Good quality, but poor compatibility on Apple devices and many car stereos.
- Completely patent-free
- Good quality
- Small
- Not natively played by iPhone/iTunes
- Few compatible car stereos

Frequently asked questions
Does converting WAV to OGG lose quality?
OGG is a lossy compressed format: a conversion always involves re-encoding. At 192 kbps or higher, the difference is inaudible in the vast majority of cases. Just avoid chaining several successive conversions.
Is the WAV to OGG converter free?
Yes, with no limit on the number of files, no sign-up and no watermark. Each file can be up to 200 MB.
Are my WAV files uploaded to the internet?
No. The WAV to OGG conversion is performed by FFmpeg directly in your browser (WebAssembly). Your files never leave your computer or phone.
How do I convert WAV to OGG on iPhone or Android?
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the drop area, select your WAV file (from Files, Voice Memos, Downloads or WhatsApp), then tap "Convert". The OGG downloads to your files.
Can I convert several WAV files at once?
Yes, add all your files in one go. They are converted one after another and a button lets you download everything as a .zip archive.
