How to Convert OGG to WAV
Turn an OGG file into WAV in three quick steps.
Add your OGG file
Drag in an .ogg or .oga file, such as a game sound, a voice message or a recording, or click to browse.
Convert to WAV
Click convert. Your browser decodes the Vorbis or Opus audio and writes a 16-bit PCM WAV.
Preview & download
Play the result and download the WAV file.

OGG to WAV: Vorbis, Opus and Where OGG Files Come From
OGG is a container format from Xiph.Org, and the audio inside is usually Vorbis or Opus. You'll find OGG files in games, open-source apps, saved voice messages and some audio downloads. Converting OGG to WAV turns either codec into uncompressed PCM, so editors and devices without OGG support can use it.
Vorbis vs Opus
Vorbis is the older codec and is common in games and music downloads; it supports any common sample rate, and the WAV keeps that rate. Opus is newer and very efficient at low bitrates, which is why many voice and messaging apps use it. Opus always decodes at 48 kHz, so an Opus OGG to WAV conversion produces a 48 kHz WAV.
Opening OGG files from games and voice messages
Game engines often ship sound effects and music as .ogg because the files are small and royalty-free to use. Voice messages saved as .ogg are usually Opus. Converting OGG to WAV lets you edit these clips in any audio editor, use them in video projects, or load them into hardware that only reads WAV.
Browser support
Current versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox decode both Vorbis and Opus. Safari's OGG support depends on the macOS or iOS version, so if a file won't convert there, try another browser. Either way nothing is uploaded — the OGG to WAV conversion runs on your device.
Using OGG audio in video projects
Many video editors don't import OGG files at all, and those that do may struggle to keep them in sync. Converting OGG to WAV first avoids both problems. Video projects usually run at 48 kHz, so an Opus OGG, which always decodes at 48 kHz, drops straight into a timeline without any resampling.
