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

FLAC (.flac) · Max 20 MB
FLAC 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 compared to FLAC?
About 70-80% smaller. A 30MB FLAC file becomes roughly 5-7MB as OGG Vorbis at quality level 6, which sounds great for casual listening.
Is OGG Vorbis as good as MP3?
Better, actually. At comparable bitrates, OGG Vorbis delivers superior audio quality to MP3. It's also patent-free and open-source.
Can I convert back to FLAC later?
You can convert OGG to FLAC, but you won't recover the data lost during compression. Always keep your original FLAC files if lossless quality matters to you.
About FLAC
Lossless compression. Perfect quality at roughly half the size of WAV. The choice for audiophiles and archiving.
About OGG
Open-source compressed format. Better quality than MP3 at similar bitrates. Used in gaming and web applications.
