1Drop your OGG audio files into the box above, or pick them from your device — there is nothing to install and no account to create.
2Choose how much to compress with the setting shown for this file type: a quality level for images, a bitrate for audio, or a target size or quality level for video.
3Start the job and let the workers re-pack the file; your original is never modified in place.
4Compare the new size against the original, then download the compressed OGG file.
Compress OGG FAQ
What do I get back, and can I control the trade-off?
+
A single compressed file per input, at a quality or bitrate level you choose rather than a fixed default. If the result is not small enough, changing the dimensions or the duration will do more than pushing the quality slider further down.
How does Compress OGG actually make the file smaller?
+
Concretely, the stream is decoded and re-encoded at the bitrate you pick, which is a second lossy generation stacked on the first, so choose the bitrate once and keep the original if you may need to re-edit later. Nothing about it depends on you installing software: the job runs server-side and hands back a finished file.
Is there anything specific to OGG I should know before compressing?
+
Yes — the Ogg page structure lets a trim be done by dropping pages, so the surviving audio is bit-identical to the source. It is worth knowing before you overwrite an original you might need again.
What is the most common mistake when compressing OGG audio files?
+
Compressing the same file repeatedly. Each pass on a lossy format is a fresh generation of loss and the savings shrink while the damage accumulates. Go from the original to your target in one step, and keep the original.
What can I upload to Compress OGG?
+
MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus and WMA are the lossy codecs handled directly, and lossless sources (WAV, FLAC, AIFF) can go in the same batch. The codec is probed from the stream, so an incorrectly named file still works.
Is there a file size limit on Compress OGG?
+
Yes: free accounts process audio up to 15 MB per file, which at typical bitrates is several hours of material; ffmpeg does the decoding and encoding, exactly as it would on a desktop. That is the most generous cap on the site after video, and audio work rarely runs into it.
Can I run Compress OGG on several OGG audio files at once?
+
Yes. Upload the set and they process in parallel with the same settings, which is the practical way to handle a podcast series or an album rather than repeating the job by hand.
Why does a EPUB site host Compress OGG?
+
EPUB.to is built around the open eBook format — XHTML in a zip, reflowable by design, and readable on hardware nobody has thought about the layout for. A book is a zip full of markup, images and fonts, so almost every job people bring to an eBook site is really a job on one of those things. Compress OGG runs on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because that is where it is needed.
What should I do with the result once Compress OGG is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves books between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF and DOCX, so a title ends up on whatever hardware is actually going to read it. Doing that after Compress OGG means the conversion is made from the version you settled on, not from the one you were still fixing.
Is Compress OGG here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a EPUB site adds is a view on reflow: which of these operations a reflowable book genuinely supports, and which ones only make sense on the fixed-layout media inside it. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: the book is a zip of XHTML with a manifest, so the text costs almost nothing and every decision that matters is about the embedded images and font subsets.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
