About OGG and MP3

  • OGG (usually Ogg Vorbis) is an open audio format used by games, Linux apps and some recorders. Older iPhones, many car stereos and editing apps can't play it.
  • MP3 is the audio format every phone, car stereo, speaker, editor and website accepts. It's lossy, so files are small.

Tips for Windows PC

  • Nothing to install, so it works on work and school PCs where you can't add software.
  • The file is decoded by your browser's built-in audio support. If one browser can't open it, try Chrome or Firefox.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting OGG to MP3 reduce quality?

Slightly, as MP3 is lossy, but at 192 kbps it's very hard to hear any difference.

Can I cut the audio at the same time?

Yes. Drag the start and end handles on the waveform, preview it, and add a fade in or out if you want.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your audio never leaves your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.

Where does the converted file go on my Windows PC?

Click Download. The file goes to your Downloads folder (File Explorer › Downloads).
