Why convert WAV to OGG?
It is huge: one minute at CD quality weighs about 10 MB. As OGG (with Opus) it is small and suits games, websites and free software.
About the formats
OGG, the free audio container
OGG is an open, patent-free container; it traditionally carries Vorbis audio and, when converting here, Opus.
Strengths: Video games, Wikipedia and many free programs use it, and it compresses very well.
Limits: iPhones and some old or car players cannot open it.

Frequently asked questions
Is my WAV uploaded to a server to turn it into OGG?
No. The WAV to OGG conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.
Do I lose quality going from WAV to OGG?
A little, because OGG is lossy; at 192 kbps or more the difference is hard to hear.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 2 GB on desktop and 500 MB on mobile (less on low-memory devices), and up to 12 hours of audio on desktop. If it is over, you are told before it starts.
Can I convert several WAV files at once?
Yes. Drop as many WAV files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each OGG or all of them in a ZIP.
