Convert MP3 to OGG

This free MP3 to OGG converter changes your MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (.mp3) file into a Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) file, right in your browser. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no limit on how many files you convert.

100% private. Your file is processed locally in your browser with WebAssembly — it is never uploaded to a server, stored, or seen by anyone.

Share this tool

The conversion runs on your own device using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm), so your file is never uploaded to a server. OGG is best for open-source apps and games, which is the usual reason to convert from MP3.

Why convert MP3 to OGG?

  • Note: OGG has narrower support than MP3 - convert only when a specific app or workflow needs it.
  • At a sensible bitrate, OGG stays close in size to MP3 while changing the codec.
  • Pick OGG when you need a file made for open-source apps and games.

How to convert MP3 to OGG

  1. Add your MP3 file

    Drag and drop your .mp3 file onto the upload area, or click to browse and pick it from your device.

  2. Start the conversion

    Click "Convert to OGG". Everything runs locally with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) - your file stays on your device.

  3. Wait a few seconds

    A progress bar shows the conversion. The first run is slightly slower while the engine loads, then it is cached.

  4. Download your OGG file

    When it finishes, download the .ogg file straight to your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is this MP3 to OGG converter free?
Yes. It is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It is supported by ads, which keeps the conversion itself free.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm), so your file is processed in memory on your own device and is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone.
Will I lose quality converting MP3 to OGG?
The audio is re-encoded to OGG, which is lossy. At a sensible bitrate the difference is hard to hear, but converting back and forth repeatedly will degrade quality.
Will the file get smaller or larger?
Roughly the same. MP3 and OGG have comparable size profiles at a sensible bitrate.
What is the difference between MP3 and OGG?
MP3 is MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (an MP3 container, typically MP3); OGG is Ogg Vorbis (an Ogg container, typically Vorbis). OGG is best for open-source apps and games, while MP3 is best for universal music and podcast playback.
How long does the conversion take?
Most files finish in a few seconds to under a minute, depending on length and your device. The first conversion is a little slower while the engine downloads and caches, then later runs start instantly.
