OGG (.ogg) · Max 20 MB

Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support AAC. It's the safe choice for distribution.

For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.

Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AAC better than OGG?

Both are efficient lossy codecs. OGG Vorbis has a slight quality edge at very low bitrates; AAC has broader hardware support, especially on Apple devices and streaming platforms. For distribution and compatibility, AAC wins. For Linux/open-source environments, OGG is the standard.

What bitrate does the converted AAC use?

The converter targets 128 kbps AAC by default, which is equivalent in perceived quality to a 192 kbps MP3 and matches standard streaming quality on most platforms.

Will the AAC file play on iPhone and Mac?

Yes. AAC is Apple's native audio codec. OGG files don't play on iPhone or Mac without third-party apps; AAC plays natively in every Apple app.

Is this converter free?

Yes. Free users get 5 conversions per month. The output is limited to the first 10 seconds as a preview, with a 20MB input file size limit. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited, full-length conversions.
