MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) revolutionized digital audio when it was standardized in 1993 by the Fraunhofer Society. Using psychoacoustic compression, MP3 removes audio frequencies that humans typically cannot perceive, achieving 10:1 compression or better while maintaining excellent subjective quality. MP3 supports sample rates from 8-48 kHz and 16-bit audio. At 256 kbps, most listeners cannot distinguish MP3 from the original source in blind tests.

MP3 remains the most universally compatible audio format, supported by every music player, smartphone, computer, and web browser. While newer codecs like AAC and Opus offer marginally better compression efficiency, MP3's ubiquitous support makes it the safest choice for sharing audio. The format's patents expired in 2017, making it completely free to use without licensing concerns.

OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is an open-source, royalty-free lossy audio codec developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation, with Vorbis 1.0 finalized in July 2002 as a patent-free alternative to MP3. Technically, "Ogg" is the container format while "Vorbis" is the audio codec, but "OGG" commonly refers to Vorbis-encoded audio files. Vorbis achieves compression ratios of 8:1 to 10:1 using a quality scale from -1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), and generally outperforms MP3 in blind listening tests at equivalent bitrates—particularly at 128 kbps and below.

OGG supports sample rates up to 192 kHz and up to 255 audio channels, making it technically versatile. Its main strength is open licensing—it's the standard audio format for video games (Unity, Unreal Engine), Spotify's internal format, and widely used in open-source software. The tradeoff is hardware support: while software players universally support OGG, many hardware devices (car stereos, standalone MP3 players) do not. For gaming audio, podcasts in open-source ecosystems, or any project avoiding patent concerns, OGG is the pragmatic choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MP3 and OGG?

MP3 uses MPEG-1 Layer 3 compression with patented technology (now expired). OGG Vorbis is a completely open-source, patent-free format with better quality at equivalent bitrates. OGG is popular in gaming and open-source applications.

Will converting MP3 to OGG improve audio quality?

No, it won't improve quality. Since MP3 is already compressed, converting to OGG re-encodes the audio. While Vorbis is more efficient than MP3, you can't recover quality lost during original MP3 encoding. For best quality, start from lossless WAV sources.

Why would I convert MP3 to OGG?

Game development and open-source projects. Many game engines (Unity, Godot, Unreal) prefer OGG for background music due to better looping support and no licensing concerns. OGG is also common in Linux applications and open-source media players. Need the reverse? Convert OGG to MP3.

What quality settings do you use?

We encode at quality level 9 (approximately 320 kbps VBR), which provides maximum practical quality for most audio. Vorbis uses variable bitrate encoding, so files with simpler audio will be smaller while complex passages get more bits.

How do file sizes compare between MP3 and OGG?

At equivalent quality, OGG files are typically 10-15% smaller than MP3 files. Vorbis is more efficient than MP3, especially at lower bitrates. The quality-per-bit advantage is one reason game developers prefer OGG.

Is OGG Vorbis really free to use?

Yes, completely free and open-source. Unlike MP3 (which had patents until 2017), Vorbis was designed from the ground up to be patent-free. You can use OGG files in any commercial or personal project without licensing fees.

How long can my audio files be?

Duration limits depend on your plan: Guest/Free: 120 minutes, Pro: 600 minutes (10 hours), Business: 3000 minutes (50 hours). This accommodates everything from game sound effects to full soundtracks.

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 1 credit per 5 minutes

How it works:

  • Files up to 5 minutes: 1 credit (minimum)
  • 6-10 minutes: 2 credits
  • 11-15 minutes: 3 credits
  • 16-20 minutes: 4 credits

Example: A 10-minute file = 1 credit. A 180-minute (3h) audiobook = 36 credits.

Why per-minute? Audio conversion time scales with content duration, not file size. Longer audio requires proportionally more processing.

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Free50 credits/day
Pro10,000 credits/month
Business30,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Free tier, including guests) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro & Business) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 1 credit per 5 minutes, audio files under 5 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 10,000 audio files per month.
