Converted on your device. Files are never uploaded.
Up to 20 files at a time.
OGG files, which usually hold Vorbis audio, turn up in games, open-source apps and some recording tools. When you want to edit one, WAV is the safe choice: it’s uncompressed and opens in every audio editor. FormatJet converts OGG to WAV in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
About the formats
OGGOgg audio
OGG is an open audio format, usually holding Vorbis audio. Games, Android and open-source apps use it, but iPhones and many car stereos can’t play it.
WAVWAV audio
WAV holds uncompressed audio, as recorded. It keeps every detail and opens in any audio editor, but a minute of CD-quality stereo takes about 10 MB.
Converted with Mediabunny, Browser audio decoder (WebCodecs), Media engine (FFmpeg).
Questions
Why convert OGG to WAV?
To edit it. Plenty of audio tools and samplers don’t open OGG, but every audio editor opens WAV, and working in WAV avoids another round of lossy compression while you edit.
Does the WAV sound better than the OGG?
It sounds the same. The Vorbis audio is decoded and stored as 16-bit PCM without further compression, though detail Vorbis dropped when the OGG was made doesn’t return.
How big will the WAV be?
Several times larger than the OGG. Uncompressed CD-quality stereo needs about 10 MB a minute, so make sure you have room for long files.
Can my browser decode the OGG?
A recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari can, using its built-in WebCodecs decoder for Vorbis. If yours can’t, the page explains that instead of converting.
