OGG (.ogg) · Max 20 MB
Edit your podcast in WAV to avoid generation loss. Export to a lossy format only as the final step before uploading to your host.
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
Does converting OGG to WAV improve quality?
No. OGG Vorbis is lossy, so the original compression can't be reversed. The WAV output contains the same audio quality as the OGG source, just in an uncompressed container.
Why is the WAV file so much larger?
WAV is uncompressed. A 3MB OGG file might become 30MB as WAV. The extra size is the trade-off for universal compatibility with audio editors.
What about OGG Opus files?
This tool handles OGG files containing either Vorbis or Opus audio. Both convert to standard WAV without issues.
