How to convert WAV to OGG

  1. Add your WAV audio files

    Drop WAV 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. OGG 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 OGG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

    The WAV to OGG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your audio files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

WAV to OGG: what to expect

WAV files are about ten times larger than an MP3 of the same recording. Ogg is open and royalty-free, which game engines and open-source tools favour. WAV is at home in recording, editing and mastering; OGG is the usual choice for royalty-free audio in games and on the web. OGG is lossy, so keep the WAV original if you may need full quality later.

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.

WAV vs OGG

WAV

WAV audio

WAV stores audio as raw, uncompressed samples. Nothing is lost, which makes it the standard working format in audio editing, and files run to about 10 MB per minute at CD quality.

Opens in Every computer, audio editor and most phones

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 audio files uploaded anywhere?

No. The WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV 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.
