How do I convert WAV to OGG?

WAV files are uncompressed and very large, which is impractical for websites and game builds where size matters. Converting to OGG Vorbis shrinks them sharply while keeping good quality in an open, royalty-free format.

Your OGG is ready Download OGG

Upload your WAV file and choose OGG as the output, then download it. WAV is uncompressed and OGG Vorbis is an efficient lossy format, so the OGG will be dramatically smaller. There is a slight quality reduction from compression, but Vorbis holds up well and is favored for web and game audio.

How it works

1

Upload your WAV file

Select or drag in the uncompressed WAV you want to compress.

2

Choose OGG as the output

Set OGG as the target to compress the audio with Ogg Vorbis.

3

Download your OGG

Save the much smaller OGG file, ready for your website or game engine.
