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

Let's be straight with each other: converting OGG to WAV will not bring back detail the OGG encoder already threw away. What you do get is a WAV that behaves like one: built for recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters: which is often exactly what an editor, burner or archive pipeline demands instead of an OGG.

FYI

Honest warning: a WAV 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 WAV

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.

WAV is audio with nothing taken away: every sample intact, every megabyte accounted for. Raw PCM samples in a RIFF wrapper. No compression of any kind. That makes it the right destination when what you need is recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters.

Questions people ask

Will converting OGG to WAV lose quality?

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

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

Bigger: usually several times bigger. WAV runs about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3, and none of that extra space adds quality to an OGG source.

Where will the WAV file play?

Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. That's the usual reason people leave OGG behind: WAV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does OGG to WAV 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.
