About this MP3 to OGG converter
MP3 is the most widely supported lossy audio format. It was standardised in the early 1990s and almost every phone, car stereo, browser and media player can play it. OGG usually means Ogg Vorbis, an open, royalty-free lossy audio format. At the same bitrate it generally sounds a little better than MP3, and it has no licensing restrictions. This converter turns MP3 files into OGG right in your browser, so your audio stays on your device.
Why convert MP3 to OGG?
- Get around a limitation of MP3 — gapless playback needs extra metadata that some players ignore.
- Meet an upload or software requirement that asks for OGG.
- Switch to OGG: open and royalty-free, popular in games, Linux and open-source projects.
Things to know
- MP3 and OGG are both lossy formats. Converting between them re-encodes the audio, which can add a small amount of extra quality loss. Keep your original MP3 file if you can.
- For the best result use “High”, which gives the encoder plenty of room so the second pass is hard to hear.
- Converting to a higher bitrate does not restore detail that was already thrown away.

No. The conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your MP3 file never leaves your device. That also means there is no server-side size limit — only your device’s memory.

What is the difference between MP3 and OGG?
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is best for music libraries, podcasts, voice memos and anything you want to play everywhere. OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is best for game audio, web audio, open-source projects and Linux players.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. Very large files (several hundred MB) can be slow or run out of memory on phones, so use a desktop browser for those.
