How to convert WAV to OGG
Add one WAV file, wait for the conversion to finish, then download the .ogg file. The converter encodes the WAV as OGG Vorbis in your browser, so the file is not uploaded. Expect a slower start the first time, while the OGG module loads.
Make a smaller copy of a WAV
A WAV is usually large. An OGG Vorbis copy is compressed, so it is usually smaller and easier to share or store. The trade is that OGG is lossy: use it for a listening or delivery copy, not as your master.
Choose OGG for the right job
Pick OGG when the player, tool or project you use asks for it. OGG is a container, and this tool writes Vorbis audio in it. If you need an Opus file or another format, use the audio converter. For a copy that plays almost everywhere, WAV to MP3 lets you pick a bitrate.
Need a transcript instead of an OGG file?
You can send your original WAV to WAV transcription without converting it here first. Transcription is separate from this free local converter: it uploads prepared audio and requires an account. Speaker labels are available when selected. Eligible personal accounts can receive 30 free minutes once after successful card verification, or with their first purchase if not already granted.

Frequently asked questions
Is this WAV to OGG converter free?
Yes. Converting one WAV file to OGG in your browser is free and needs no account. Transcription is a separate service with its own account and minute pricing.
Does converting WAV to OGG upload my file?
No. The converter processes the WAV in your browser and downloads the OGG to your device. Choosing transcription separately uploads prepared audio.
Will the OGG be smaller than my WAV?
Usually, because OGG Vorbis is compressed and WAV is not. The exact size depends on the audio and its length, so check the downloaded file before deleting your original.
Does converting WAV to OGG lose quality?
Yes, a little. OGG Vorbis is lossy, so the OGG is not identical to the WAV. Keep the WAV if you need it for editing or archiving.
Can I choose a bitrate for the OGG?
No. This converter has no bitrate menu and uses one fixed Vorbis quality setting.
Why is the first conversion slower?
OGG output runs on an extra conversion module that loads the first time you use it. After that the module is already in the page.
Will every WAV file convert?
WAV can contain different audio codecs. Conversion depends on the codec and your browser or device, and playback depends on your player.
Can I transcribe the WAV instead?
Yes, through the separate Hushscript transcription service, which uploads prepared audio and requires an account. Speaker labels are available when selected.
