OGG to WAV Converter
Drop in OGG files and get WAV back in seconds, processed entirely on your device.
OGG files (most other audio and video files work too). Files stay on your device.
How it works
- Choose your OGG file, or drop it on the page. You can add several files at once.
- Pick the sample rate and bit depth, or keep the source values to avoid any change.
- Click Convert. Processing happens on your device and shows progress; you can cancel at any time.
- Preview the result and download the WAV file. With several files, download them all as one ZIP.
About OGG to WAV conversion
OGG (Ogg Vorbis) suits games, open-source projects and royalty-free distribution. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format, RIFF container) suits editing, mastering, sampling and handing audio between programs without quality loss.
OGG is lossy, and no converter can restore detail that was already discarded. The WAV file will sound the same as the OGG source and will be larger; the point of the conversion is compatibility with software or hardware that needs WAV.
For a 4-minute track, a typical OGG file is about 5 MB and a typical WAV file is about 42 MB. Your own result depends on the bitrate and the audio itself.
OGG vs WAV
WAV support: Opens in every audio editor and operating system. Browsers and phones play it, though not every player shows tags.
OGG support: Plays in Chrome, Firefox and Android natively; Apple devices support it less consistently, and many car and portable players do not.

Quality and compatibility notes
- WAV: Large files: about 10 MB per minute at CD quality. The classic format stops at 4 GB, which RF64 extends.
- OGG: Less hardware support than MP3 or AAC, and largely superseded by Opus for new work.
- Tags: WAV stores limited: RIFF INFO chunks, and BWF or iXML metadata in broadcast files.
Questions
Does converting OGG to WAV reduce quality?
No further loss happens, but none is recovered either: WAV stores what the OGG file already contained.
How big will the WAV file be?
For a 4-minute track, a typical OGG file is about 5 MB and a typical WAV file is about 42 MB. Your own result depends on the bitrate and the audio itself.
Is my OGG file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser on your device. The file is never sent to a server, and nothing is stored after you close the page.
