What changes when you convert OGG to WAV?
WAV avoids another lossy compression step, but it cannot recover audio detail already discarded by the OGG source. The file may also become larger.
- Add multiple audio files and use the available codec, trim, volume, fade and reverse controls.
- Open the finished WAV file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
Source formatWhat is a OGG file?
OGG is a free, open audio format (usually Vorbis or Opus) that delivers great sound at small sizes without licensing fees. It is popular in games, on the web and with open-source software, but some devices need it converted to MP3 first.
How to open a OGG file
OGG plays in VLC, Firefox, Chrome and most media players; on iPhones and older devices, convert it to MP3 or M4A.
Output formatWhat is a WAV file?
WAV is an audio container that commonly stores uncompressed PCM sound. PCM keeps the encoded samples without lossy compression, which is useful for editing and mastering but usually creates much larger files than MP3 or AAC.
How to open a WAV file
WAV is supported by common media players and audio editors, including Windows Media Player, QuickTime and VLC. Support can depend on the codec stored inside the file.
