OGG (.ogg) · Max 20 MB
OGG files arrive from a specific set of places: game assets and mods, Linux and open-source software, Audacity exports, royalty-free sound libraries, and the odd web download. Vorbis, the codec inside, is genuinely good — better sound per kilobyte than MP3. The problem is never quality; it is that almost nothing plays it. Apple has never supported OGG in the Music app or on iPhone, most car stereos ignore it, plenty of Windows software shrugs, and a great many upload forms reject the extension outright.
Converting to MP3 trades a small amount of technical elegance for universal playback. MP3 is the one audio format that plays on every phone, every car, every browser, every app, and every device made in the last twenty years. If the point of the file is that someone can actually listen to it, MP3 is the correct answer.
Be clear-eyed about quality: both formats are lossy, so this is a second encode and it cannot add anything back. Encode at 192-256 kbps or higher and the extra loss stays inaudible for normal listening. If you happen to still have the original WAV or FLAC that the OGG came from, encode the MP3 from that instead — a single lossy generation always beats two.
Free here means free: no account before the download, no watermark tone in the audio, no queue behind paying users. The engine is the same one Pro uses, so quality at a given bitrate is identical; the free tier just caps input at 20 MB, five conversions a month, and a 10-second output preview.
And nothing is uploaded. The conversion runs in your browser with WebAssembly, so game audio, work-in-progress sound, or anything you would rather not hand to a stranger's server stays on your own machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my OGG file play?
OGG comes from the open-source world and most consumer devices never adopted it — Apple's Music app and iPhone don't support it, many car stereos ignore it, and plenty of Windows software and upload forms reject it. MP3 plays on essentially everything.
Is MP3 better quality than OGG?
No — Vorbis (inside OGG) is technically the better codec per kilobyte. You convert for compatibility, not quality. Encode at 192-256 kbps or higher so the second lossy generation stays inaudible.
Does converting OGG to MP3 lose quality?
Both are lossy, so this is a second encode — some further loss occurs. At a generous bitrate it's inaudible in normal listening. If you still have the original WAV or FLAC, encode the MP3 from that instead.
Is it really free?
Yes — no signup, no watermark, no queue. Free covers files up to 20 MB, five conversions a month, and a 10-second output preview; Pro removes those. Audio quality is identical on both tiers.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is transmitted — safe for game audio, unreleased sound, and anything you'd rather keep off a stranger's infrastructure.
