AIFF to OGG Without Quality Loss
Converting AIFF to OGG involves lossy compression. Some data will be discarded. Use a high bitrate to keep loss minimal and nearly inaudible.

AIFF (.aiff) · Max 20 MB
AIFF stores audio without any compression artifacts. OGG uses perceptual coding to reduce file size. The encoder discards audio data it predicts you won't hear.
At 320kbps, most listeners can't distinguish OGG from the lossless source in blind tests. Use the highest bitrate your use case allows.
AudioUtils lets you pick the output bitrate. Choose 320kbps for near-transparent quality. Choose 128kbps for smaller files when size matters more than fidelity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller is OGG than AIFF?
Dramatically smaller — about 85-90% reduction. A 50MB AIFF file becomes roughly 5-7MB as OGG Vorbis at quality level 6.
Is OGG better than MP3 for converting from AIFF?
OGG Vorbis typically produces better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate. It's also open-source and patent-free, making it a great choice for open-source projects and games.
What is AIFF used for?
AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, commonly used in Mac-based music production, Logic Pro, and GarageBand. It's essentially Apple's equivalent of WAV.
About AIFF
Apple's uncompressed format. Similar to WAV but with better metadata support. Used in professional Mac audio workflows.
About OGG
Open-source compressed format. Better quality than MP3 at similar bitrates. Used in gaming and web applications.
