About the OGG to MP3
OGG to MP3 converts OGG Vorbis and Opus audio files into MP3. OGG and Opus are used by games, Wikipedia, web recorders and some messaging apps for voice messages, but many players, phones and editing programs only accept MP3. Select your file, choose a quality between 96 and 320 kbps and press Convert. The page plays the MP3 and offers it for download. The conversion runs in your browser, so your recordings never leave your device.

OGG, Opus and MP3
OGG is a container, and Vorbis and Opus are the codecs that compress the sound inside it. Opus is very efficient at low bitrates, which is why chat apps use it for voice messages. MP3 is older and needs a higher bitrate for the same quality, but it works on far more devices.
Pick a bitrate
Voice messages recorded at 24 to 32 kbps in Opus sound fine, and an MP3 at 96 kbps will keep that quality while being compatible with more players. For music in OGG Vorbis at 160 kbps or more, choose 192 kbps or higher for the MP3.
- Voice message: 96 kbps, mono
- Podcast: 128 kbps
- Music: 192 kbps or more
Games and sound effects
Game assets are often OGG. If you want to edit a sound in a program that does not read OGG, convert it to MP3 or to WAV with the Audio to WAV Converter for the cleanest editing. Keep the original files in case you need them again.
Combine with other tools
After converting, trim the start and end with the Audio Trimmer or change the speed with the Audio Speed Changer. To shrink the file further, use the Audio Compressor.
When it does not play
If the browser cannot read the file, it may use a rare codec. Try Chrome or Edge, which support the most formats, or record the sound again. If the file has no audio track, there is nothing to convert.

Frequently asked questions
What is an OGG file?
A free, open audio format. OGG usually holds Vorbis sound, and the newer Opus codec is also stored in OGG files. It is common in games, web audio and open source programs.
Why convert OGG to MP3?
Many devices, editors and websites accept only MP3. Converting makes the file playable in car stereos, older phones and most upload forms.
Will the sound get worse?
Both formats are lossy, so converting loses a little more detail. Use a bitrate at least as high as the original to keep the loss small; for Opus voice messages, 96 to 128 kbps is plenty.
Can it open voice messages from messaging apps?
If the file is an OGG or Opus file, yes. Some apps save voice messages with a different extension. Try selecting it in the MP3 Converter, which accepts more types.
Does it work with Opus files that have the .opus extension?
Yes. .ogg, .oga and .opus files are all accepted, as long as your browser can decode the audio.
Is a bigger bitrate always better?
Not if the original is a low-quality voice message. A higher bitrate makes the file larger but cannot restore detail that is not in the source.
Does it keep the tags?
No. The MP3 contains only the sound.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is converted on your device and never sent to a server.
