Convert OGG to FLAC online

Your OGG file is converted to FLAC right here in your browser, using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to us, the audio never leaves your device. Quality is preserved and the download is ready in seconds.

What is an OGG file?

OGG is an open, royalty-free container, most commonly carrying Vorbis-encoded audio. It was built as the free-software answer to MP3 and delivers comparable or better quality at the same bitrate.

OGG shows up in games, open-source software and some Android recording apps. Older iPhones famously could not play it, which is the usual reason people need to convert one.

Why FLAC?

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio the way ZIP compresses files: the data gets smaller (typically 50 to 60% of WAV size) but decodes back to exactly the original samples. Nothing is lost, ever.

Convert to FLAC to archive: you keep bit-perfect quality at roughly half the size of WAV, with full metadata and checksum support built in. It is the right long-term home for irreplaceable recordings. OGG's practical weakness is device support: Apple devices only gained reliable playback recently, and plenty of players and upload forms still reject it.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting OGG to FLAC lose quality?

Honest answer: quality stays exactly where it is, no better, no worse. FLAC is lossless, but it cannot restore detail your OGG already discarded when it was first encoded. What you gain is safety: the FLAC copy can be edited and re-exported repeatedly without any further loss, which is exactly why editors ask for it.

Is it free?

Yes, completely, with no account and no watermark. The conversion runs on your own device, so it costs us nothing to let you use it. The only limit is file size: up to 50 MB, which is what a browser can hold in memory comfortably.

Do I need to install anything, or upload my file?

Neither. It runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your audio is never sent to us, which is also why it works on a slow connection, only the page downloads, not your file.

Need a transcript of the audio?

Autrans also transcribes audio in Nigerian English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, French, and Spanish.
