Convert WAV to OGG

Upload a WAV file and convert it to OGG — all in your browser.

What happens when you convert WAV to OGG

Your uncompressed WAV is re-encoded into an Ogg file using the Opus codec. Opus is the most efficient mainstream audio codec available: it beats MP3 and Vorbis on quality at the same size, and it is especially strong on speech.

The result is dramatically smaller than the WAV, often 95 percent smaller for voice content, at quality that holds up remarkably well.

Who this is for

Game developers ship sound effects and music as Ogg because files are small and decoding is cheap. Web developers use Opus for audio on pages because every modern browser plays it natively. Voice clips for bots, IVR systems, and messaging apps are also classic Opus territory.

For music libraries that need to play in cars or on older hardware, MP3 remains the more compatible lossy choice.

Frequently asked questions

Opus or Vorbis inside the .ogg file?

Opus. It is the modern codec for Ogg files and outperforms the older Vorbis at every bitrate.

How small will my file get?

Voice recordings shrink the most, often to a few percent of the WAV size. Music typically lands around a tenth of the original size at high quality.

Do you store my files?

No. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded, so there is nothing for anyone to store.
