How to convert OGG to M4R

  1. Add your OGG audio files

    Drop OGG files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. M4R is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the M4R, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

OGG to M4R: what to expect

Ogg does not play on iPhones, in iTunes or on many hardware players. M4R is the only format an iPhone accepts as a custom ringtone. OGG is at home in royalty-free audio in games and on the web; M4R is the usual choice for custom iPhone ringtones and alert tones. 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. An iPhone ringtone is limited to 40 seconds, so only 40 seconds are kept, from the start point you set under Options (the beginning by default). M4R is written at 192 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.

OGG vs M4R

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

OGG converter
M4R

iPhone ringtone

An M4R file is an M4A with a different extension, which is how an iPhone recognises it as a ringtone. Ringtones are limited to about 40 seconds.

Opens in iPhone (as a ringtone), iTunes, Apple Music, GarageBand

Questions

Are my audio files uploaded anywhere?

No. The OGG to M4R conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting OGG to M4R reduce quality?

M4R 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 OGG 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 OGG to M4R 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 OGG file, press Convert and save the M4R. 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.
