What is OGG?

OGG is a free, open-source multimedia container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The most common audio codec inside OGG files is Vorbis, a lossy audio codec designed as a patent-free alternative to MP3 and AAC.

OGG Vorbis offers better sound quality than MP3 at equivalent bitrates and is widely used in video games, open-source software, and web applications. Firefox, Chrome, and Android all support OGG natively, but Apple devices do not.

What is MP3?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is the most widely supported audio format in the world. Developed in the early 1990s, it became the standard for digital music distribution.

Every device, media player, car stereo, and operating system supports MP3 playback. While OGG Vorbis is technically more efficient, MP3's universal compatibility makes it the safest choice for sharing audio files.

Why Convert OGG to MP3?

Apple device compatibility

iPhone, iPad, and Mac don't natively support OGG playback. If you receive OGG audio files or download them from games, converting to MP3 lets you play them on any Apple device.

Car stereo playback

Almost no car stereo supports OGG files. Converting to MP3 ensures your audio plays in any car via USB, Bluetooth, or AUX connection.

Universal sharing

When sending audio files to others, MP3 is the safest format. Everyone can play MP3 regardless of their device or operating system, while OGG may not open for many recipients.

Software compatibility

Many audio editors, video editors, and presentation tools don't support OGG input. MP3 is accepted by virtually all multimedia software.

Frequently Asked Questions

OGG Vorbis is an open-source lossy codec that generally offers slightly better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate. However, MP3 has universal device support, while OGG is limited to Android, PC, Linux, and web browsers. Apple devices, most car stereos, and many portable players don't support OGG.

Converting between two lossy formats does introduce a small generation loss. However, at high bitrates (256–320 kbps), the difference is virtually imperceptible. Convertio uses high-quality LAME MP3 encoding to minimize any quality degradation.

Apple's iOS doesn't natively support OGG Vorbis playback. While third-party apps like VLC can play OGG files, converting to MP3 lets you use the built-in Music app and share files seamlessly with other apps.

OGG files are commonly found in video games (Unity, Unreal Engine, and many indie games use OGG for audio assets), open-source software (Audacity exports to OGG by default), WhatsApp voice messages (which use Opus in OGG containers), and audio recorded with apps that default to open formats.
