OGG to Opus Conversion FAQ
What bitrate does the Opus file use?
+
A lossy Opus is encoded at 192 kbps by default. The Audio Quality setting also offers 320 kbps for the best quality and 128 kbps for a smaller file. A lossless Opus (WAV, FLAC) ignores the bitrate and keeps every sample.
Is converting OGG to Opus a second round of lossy compression?
+
Yes, and it is worth planning around. Both formats are lossy, so the Opus encoder is working from audio that has already been through one psychoacoustic pass, and its own decisions compound the first set. At 192 kbps or above the result is still transparent for most listening. If you have a lossless master anywhere, encoding the Opus from that instead avoids the double pass entirely. Vorbis inside OGG is lossy and uses variable bitrate by default, so quality is set as a level rather than a fixed kbps figure. Opus scales from 6 kbps mono speech to 510 kbps stereo music in the same bitstream and switches modes automatically.
Will going from OGG to Opus reduce my audio quality?
+
If OGG is lossy and Opus is lossless (e.g. MP3 → WAV), the Opus file is no better than the OGG — you can't recover information that's already been thrown away. If OGG is lossless and Opus is lossy, expect the Opus codec to recompress; at 192 kbps this is transparent for most content.
Can I batch convert hundreds of OGG files to Opus?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Will the Opus keep the same sample rate as OGG?
+
By default yes (48 kHz OGG → 48 kHz Opus). If you need to downsample for compatibility (e.g. 96 kHz → 44.1 kHz for CD burning) the advanced sample-rate option does this with high-quality resampling.
Can I normalize loudness in the OGG to Opus step?
+
Not in this step. The converter has no loudness setting and leaves the level as it is. To even out the volume, run the finished Opus through a Normalize tool on this site.
Will the Opus play on my car stereo / iPod / audiobook app?
+
MP3 plays almost everywhere. AAC plays on Apple devices, most Android phones and Sonos. FLAC plays on Sonos and Android but not on older iPods, and WAV plays on nearly everything but makes large files. There are no device presets on this page, so choose the target format your player supports.
Is my OGG file private during conversion?
+
Yes. Nobody listens to or shares the audio, which matters for personal audiobook libraries, and uploaded OGG files and their converted copies are deleted automatically about 24 hours after conversion.
How long does converting a 10-hour audiobook OGG to Opus take?
+
It depends on the size and length of the file. Small documents and images are usually ready quickly. Long videos take the longest, because most video conversions re-encode every frame.
Why is the Opus file louder / quieter than the OGG source?
+
The converter does not change the level: it has no gain or normalize setting. If you hear a difference, your player or media library is probably applying ReplayGain or its own volume levelling on playback; switch that off to hear the Opus as it is.
