What is an OGV file?
OGV – Ogg video (OGV). OGV is Ogg Theora video: a free, open format that Linux players and some websites use. Converting makes a new file: the video is decoded and encoded again, so converting from a format that lost detail never brings it back.
OGV Converter →What is a WAV file?
WAV – WAV audio. WAV is uncompressed audio from Microsoft and IBM: every sample is kept, so files are large (about 10 MB a minute) and editing programs love them. Converting makes a new file: the sound is decoded and written again, so converting from a lossy format never brings back what was lost.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting OGV to WAV free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my OGV files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because converting video needs ffmpeg, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the OGV file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the WAV look the same as the OGV?
Only the sound is kept: the pictures are left out, and the WAV is made from the first sound track.
Can I convert several OGV files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
