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

WAV (.wav) · Max 20 MB
WAV 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
Why use OGG for game development?
OGG is patent-free, well-compressed, and natively supported by major game engines. It's the standard for game audio assets.
How does OGG compare to MP3 for games?
OGG sounds better at the same bitrate and has no licensing costs. Most game engines recommend OGG over MP3 for these reasons.
What quality setting should I use?
Quality 6-8 (roughly 192-256kbps) for music and sound effects. Quality 3-4 for voice and ambient sounds where file size matters more.
Does OGG support looping metadata?
Yes. OGG Vorbis supports LOOPSTART and LOOPLENGTH tags, making it ideal for seamless music loops in games.
About WAV
Uncompressed audio format. Perfect quality with no data loss. Standard for music production and professional audio work.
About OGG
Open-source compressed format. Better quality than MP3 at similar bitrates. Used in gaming and web applications.
