How to Convert OGG to WAV on Android
OGG (usually Ogg Vorbis) is an open audio format used by games, Linux apps and some recorders. Drop your OGG below to save it as a WAV – and trim it on the waveform first if you like. It all happens on your Android phone.

What changes when you convert OGG to WAV
- WAV is uncompressed, so the file will be much bigger than the OGG (about 10 MB per minute of stereo) – that's normal.
- WAV can't add back detail the OGG didn't have, but editors and DAWs handle it without any decoding problems.
About OGG and WAV
- 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.
- WAV is uncompressed audio – exact quality, but about 10 MB per minute of stereo sound. Audio editors, DAWs and some upload forms ask for WAV.
Tips for Android phone
- Converted audio shows up in music apps once it's in Downloads; to use an MP3 as a ringtone, pick it under Settings › Sound › Ringtone › add (+).
- No app from the Play Store needed, so there are no extra permissions, ads inside an app or storage used.
- The file is decoded by your browser's built-in audio support. If one browser can't open it, try Chrome or Firefox.
