Convert OGG to WAV

OGG · OPUS · OGA · MP3 · M4A · WAV · FLAC · WebM · AAC · MP4 · MOV · MKV

Converting happens in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. Transcribing uploads the audio to SeaMeet.

Choose an OGG, such as a Telegram voice note, and your browser turns it into a WAV an editor can open.

How it works

  1. Choose the OGG file, for example a saved Telegram voice note.
  2. If it's stereo, turn on Mono for a smaller file, then select Convert & download.
  3. Save the WAV, or transcribe the voice note.

Telegram voice notes and OGG audio, into an editor

Telegram saves voice messages as OGG files, sometimes with an .oga ending, and when you export a chat from Telegram Desktop they arrive in a voice messages folder. Games, open-source software and some recorders use OGG Vorbis for sound effects and music. Browsers play these files, but many audio editors, video editors and older tools refuse to import them.

WAV is the format every editor accepts. Converting here decodes the OGG on your own device and writes an uncompressed WAV, which you can cut, clean up, add to a video project or drop into a sampler. The file is never uploaded to convert, which matters for private messages.

A WAV is many times the size of the voice note. Voice notes are usually mono already; for stereo OGG audio with one speaker, Mono halves the WAV. If you only need to know what was said, you can skip the editor: Transcribe this file sends the audio to SeaMeet and returns a transcript.

Questions

Is the OGG file uploaded?

No. It is decoded and saved as WAV by your browser, on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose Transcribe this file, which uploads the audio to SeaMeet to be transcribed.

Can large OGG files be converted?

Yes. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no upload cap. The WAV will be far larger than the OGG, so leave room for it on your device, and a very long recording may be too long for one WAV. For transcription, files can be up to 512 MB and 5 hours.

Will converting to WAV improve the sound?

No. OGG compresses sound by leaving out detail, and a WAV can't restore it. What you get is the voice note stored uncompressed as standard sixteen-bit audio, which editors open without trouble. It won't sound clearer than the OGG did.

How do I save a voice note from Telegram?

In Telegram Desktop, right-click the voice message and choose Save As, or export the chat with voice messages included. On a phone, open the message's menu and use Share or Save to Files, depending on the app version. Then choose that file here.
