How to convert M4R to OGG

Download
Save the OGG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

M4R to OGG: what to expect
M4R is treated as a ringtone, so ordinary players may not list it as music. Ogg is open and royalty-free, which game engines and open-source tools favour. M4R is at home in custom iPhone ringtones and alert tones; OGG is the usual choice for royalty-free audio in games and on the web. Both formats are lossy, so the content is compressed a second time; start from the best copy you have.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate and trim the start and end.
The conversion uses your browser's own video and audio codecs (WebCodecs), with hardware acceleration where the device has it; the file is read from disk as it goes and can be up to 2 GB. Where the browser lacks a codec, the page falls back to the compatibility engine. OGG is written at 160 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.
M4R vs OGG
OGG
Ogg audio
Ogg is an open container, most often holding Vorbis audio. Games, Linux software and Wikipedia use it because it is free of patents. Apple's players do not support it natively.
Opens in Chrome, Firefox, Android, VLC; Apple devices need extra software

Questions
Are my ringtones uploaded anywhere?
No. The M4R to OGG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Does converting M4R to OGG reduce quality?
OGG is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can choose the bitrate under Options.
Can I convert several M4R files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
How do I convert M4R to OGG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the M4R file, press Convert and save the OGG. There is nothing to install.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
