Convert OGG to WAV Online (Free & Unlimited)

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio standard developed by Microsoft and IBM in 1991, known for retaining original audio quality. OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is a compressed, open-source format from Xiph.Org Foundation, optimized for streaming. Converting OGG to WAV restores compatibility with professional audio editing software.

This OGG to WAV converter transforms your files in seconds. Upload, convert, and download instantly:

3. Click Convert and download: Start the conversion and download your WAV file instantly. For multiple files, download individually or as a ZIP archive.

Neither format is objectively better. OGG and WAV serve different purposes. OGG uses lossy compression for smaller files (5-10x smaller), making it ideal for streaming and distribution. WAV preserves original audio quality without compression, making it superior for editing and professional production.

Choose OGG when: You need smaller files for streaming, web audio, gaming, or sharing online.

Choose WAV when: You need lossless quality for audio editing, mastering, archiving, or professional production.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)

WAV is an uncompressed audio standard developed by Microsoft and IBM in 1991. WAV files retain original audio quality without any data loss, making them ideal for professional editing, mastering, and archival purposes. The format stores raw audio data using pulse-code modulation (PCM).

OGG (Ogg Vorbis)

OGG is a free, open-source compressed audio format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. OGG files use lossy compression to reduce file sizes while maintaining high audio quality, making them popular for streaming and web applications.

Why Convert OGG to WAV?

Converting OGG to WAV restores compatibility with audio editing software that requires raw, uncompressed audio data. This conversion is essential for music production, podcast editing, and any workflow requiring lossless audio processing. Use our WAV to OGG Converter for the reverse conversion.

File Size Increase

Converting OGG to WAV increases file size by approximately 10x because WAV stores uncompressed audio data. A 7 MB OGG file (4-minute song at 128 kbps) converts to approximately 70 MB in WAV format. This size increase is expected and reflects the lossless nature of WAV.

WAV files are ideal for:

• Professional audio editing and mastering
• Archiving audio in lossless format
• Working with digital audio workstations (DAWs)
• Audio equipment that requires uncompressed input
• Creating source files for further conversions
