How to convert WAV to OGG
Add your WAV files
Drag and drop WAV files into the box or tap to choose them. The converter engine (about 31 MB) downloads once, the first time you convert.
Pick a bitrate
192 kbps suits music and 128 kbps or less suits speech. Sample rate and mono/stereo are under Advanced.
Convert and download
Click Convert, then download each OGG file or all of them as one ZIP.
Why convert WAV to OGG?
Game engines and web games use OGG Vorbis to keep downloads small.
What happens when you convert WAV to OGG?
The WAV is encoded to Vorbis at 192 kbps by default, around 85% smaller.
How does Fylo convert WAV to OGG?
Fylo decodes the PCM audio in the WAV with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly and encodes it with the Vorbis encoder (libvorbis) at 192 kbps in an Ogg container. Going from lossless to lossy is where the big saving happens: a 3-minute song is ≈ 32 MB as WAV but ≈ 3.6 MB at 160 kbps as OGG. The original sample rate and channel layout are kept unless you change them under Advanced.
What's the difference between WAV and OGG?
WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and, like AVI, uses the RIFF container. Most WAVs hold uncompressed PCM audio: CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo) runs at 1,411 kbps, or about 10.6 MB per minute.
Ogg is an open container from the Xiph.Org Foundation; Vorbis, the audio codec most .ogg files use, reached version 1.0 in 2002. Vorbis was created as a free, unpatented alternative to MP3 and sounds better at the same bitrate.

Frequently asked questions
Should game sound effects be OGG?
For music and long effects, yes. Very short effects are sometimes kept as WAV for instant playback.
Is quality noticeably lower?
Not at 192 kbps for most listeners.
Is my WAV file uploaded to a server?
No. Fylo runs ffmpeg, the same engine used by professional video tools, compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser. Your WAV file is read directly from your device and never sent anywhere.
