OGG to WAV Conversion FAQ

What bitrate does the WAV file use?
+
A lossy WAV 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 WAV (WAV, FLAC) ignores the bitrate and keeps every sample.
No, and it is worth being blunt: nothing can. The OGG already discarded detail during its original encode, and wrapping what remains in a lossless WAV preserves exactly that — no more. The file gets several times larger and sounds identical. It is still the right move before editing, because WAV will not add a second generation of artefacts when you export. WAV is the correct format for editing, mastering and archiving, because it can be re-encoded any number of times without accumulating artefacts. OGG has poor hardware support — car stereos, older iPods and many TVs will not see the file at all.
Not intact. OGG carries a proper metadata block, but WAV has no standard place for artist, album, track number or cover art, so tags are dropped rather than mangled. Keep the OGG as the tagged copy, or re-tag afterwards with a tool like Mp3tag or MusicBrainz Picard. WAV is enormous — roughly 10 MB per stereo minute at CD quality — and the classic format has a 4 GB ceiling and no room for proper tags.
If OGG is lossy and WAV is lossless (e.g. MP3 → WAV), the WAV file is no better than the OGG — you can't recover information that's already been thrown away. If OGG is lossless and WAV is lossy, expect the WAV codec to recompress; at 192 kbps this is transparent for most content.
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.
By default yes (48 kHz OGG → 48 kHz WAV). 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.
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 WAV through a Normalize tool on this site.
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.
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.
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.

OGG

OGG Vorbis yields best-in-class audio compression comparable to MP3 but completely free and open-source.

WAV

WAV files store audio in uncompressed format, furnishing CD-grade sound perfect for publishing-quality audio work.
