You can convert OGG to FLAC for free above: just know the FLAC will sound identical to the OGG, not better; lossless can't restore discarded detail.

Let's be straight with each other: converting OGG to FLAC will not bring back detail the OGG encoder already threw away. What you do get is a FLAC that behaves like one: built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving: which is often exactly what an editor, burner or archive pipeline demands instead of an OGG.

FYI

Honest warning: a FLAC made from OGG is lossless from here on, but it can't restore what the OGG encoder already discarded. It will sound exactly like your OGG: just bigger.

Why flip OGG to FLAC

OGG is the free spirit of audio: open, patent-free, and quietly brilliant at looping game sound. It was born in 2002, the Xiph.Org Foundation, and its real weak spot is everyday device support: car stereos and Apple hardware mostly shrug.

FLAC is the audiophile's handshake: CD-perfect sound at roughly half the shelf space. Free Lossless Audio Codec: think ZIP for sound: it decompresses back to the exact original. That makes it the right destination when what you need is archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Type audio · lossy audio · lossless
Best for games and open projects that want seamless loops and zero licensing strings archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving
Weak spot everyday device support: car stereos and Apple hardware mostly shrug fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps
Typical size on par with MP3, often a touch smaller at matching quality around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3
Plays on Browsers, Android, game engines; not the Apple ecosystem. Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away.

Questions people ask

Will converting OGG to FLAC lose quality?

It won't lose more, and it won't gain any back. The FLAC preserves your OGG exactly as it is now: including whatever the original lossy encode discarded.

Will the FLAC file be bigger or smaller than my OGG?

Bigger: usually several times bigger. FLAC runs around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3, and none of that extra space adds quality to an OGG source.

Where will the FLAC file play?

Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. That's the usual reason people leave OGG behind: FLAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does OGG to FLAC conversion take?

Seconds for most files: audio is light work. A long recording might take a minute; your file auto-deletes from our servers within an hour either way.
