About FLAC and OGG

FLAC is lossless compression for audio — bit-identical to the source at roughly half the size of WAV. It's the archival format of choice for music collections and masters.

OGG Vorbis is a free, open lossy codec that beats MP3 at equivalent bitrates. It's common in game audio and open-source software, and every modern browser plays it.

Converting FLAC to OGG is lossy. 192 kbps is transparent for most listeners on most material; pick 320 kbps if you want the ceiling, or drop lower when small files matter more than fidelity.

How the conversion works

This tool runs FFmpeg — the same engine behind most media software — compiled to WebAssembly, entirely in your browser. Your file is read locally, converted locally, and saved straight from memory; nothing is ever uploaded, which also means no queues and no server-side file size limits.

The converter itself is a one-time ~31 MB download on your first conversion, cached by the browser afterwards. Once it's loaded, everything works offline.
