Convert WAV to OGG
Free · localChoose a compatible WAV. No audio upload or account required.
Creates Ogg Vorbis at 48 kHz from browser-decoded mono or stereo WAV. Input and output must each fit 50 MiB; input must be no longer than five minutes. Vorbis is lossy and can discard detail; if the source was previously lossy, it cannot recover detail already missing. Timing, tags and artwork may not be preserved. Browser and player codec support varies.

How to convert WAV to OGG
- 01 / CHOOSE
Select a WAV file
Choose a browser-compatible WAV no larger than 50 MiB and no longer than five minutes. It must decode to mono or stereo.
- 02 / CONVERT
Choose Vorbis quality
Select a variable-bitrate quality setting and convert locally. Your browser decodes and resamples the audio to 48 kHz before encoding Ogg Vorbis.
- 03 / CHECK
Listen and download
Preview if your browser supports Ogg Vorbis, then download and test the result in its intended player. Keep your original WAV.
Format and quality
What happens when WAV becomes OGG?
WAV commonly holds uncompressed PCM audio. OGG is a container that can hold different codecs; this tool creates an Ogg file containing Vorbis audio. Confirm that the destination supports Ogg Vorbis, rather than relying on the extension alone. Browser preview support varies.
Vorbis is a lossy codec: encoding can discard audio information even when the WAV contains uncompressed PCM. A higher quality setting can reduce audible artifacts but does not make the output lossless. If the WAV was made from an earlier lossy file, conversion cannot restore missing detail. Keep the original and compare difficult passages such as cymbals, quiet speech and the ending.
Variable bitrate means output size depends on the signal and chosen quality. Higher quality generally uses more data; a smaller file is not guaranteed. This tool resamples decoded audio to 48 kHz, and codec delay or padding can affect timing. Tags, markers and artwork are not copied. Check sync before using the result in a video or multitrack session.
Need lossless compression for a supported integer PCM WAV? Try WAV to FLAC instead; it preserves supported samples and checks the encoder checksum.
Troubleshooting
Check compatibility and limits
The source must be a WAV your browser can decode, no longer than five minutes, no larger than 50 MiB, and mono or stereo after decoding. The output must also fit 50 MiB. Compressed WAV and unusual codecs may not work in every browser. For long, multichannel or unsupported files, use a desktop converter. Renaming a file does not change its audio format.
To convert an MP3 instead, use MP3 to OGG. To make an editing copy from compatible OGG audio, choose WAV in OGG to MP3; that decoded copy cannot recover detail lost in the OGG source.
This converter uses @audio/encode-ogg, with libvorbis via wasm-media-encoders. See the encoder license, wrapper license, Vorbis notice and Ogg notice.
A few useful answers
Free WAV to OGG converter questions
How do I convert WAV to OGG?
Choose a browser-compatible mono or stereo WAV up to 50 MiB and five minutes, select a Vorbis quality and convert. Preview and download the OGG locally. Output must also fit 50 MiB.
Does the converter upload my audio?
No. The browser reads and converts the selected file locally. Download the result before leaving the page.
Is WAV to OGG lossless?
No. This tool creates lossy Ogg Vorbis and resamples decoded audio to 48 kHz. Keep the WAV; a higher Vorbis quality setting does not make the output lossless.
Is the OGG always smaller than the WAV?
Not necessarily. Output size depends on the source and variable-bitrate quality setting. Compare actual files and check that the player supports Ogg Vorbis.
Why might a WAV fail to convert?
WAV is a container and browser codec support varies. The file may also exceed a size or duration limit or decode to more than two channels. Try a compatible browser or desktop converter.
