MP4 to OGG Conversion FAQ

How do I extract the audio from a MP4 as OGG?
+
Upload the MP4 file and the converter demuxes the audio track, then re-encodes it as OGG. No re-encoding of the video happens — only the audio stream is processed, which keeps it fast even on long videos.
You can convert the OGG back to MP4 on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
Default settings target broadcast / web quality — visually identical to the source for most viewers. For archival use, pick the highest quality option in the converter settings.
Yes, and it is worth planning around. Both formats are lossy, so the OGG encoder is working from audio that has already been through one psychoacoustic pass, and its own decisions compound the first set. At 192 kbps or above the result is still transparent for most listening. If you have a lossless master anywhere, encoding the OGG from that instead avoids the double pass entirely. Almost every MP4 in the wild is H.264 video with AAC audio; the container also legally holds HEVC, AV1 and VP9. Vorbis inside OGG is lossy and uses variable bitrate by default, so quality is set as a level rather than a fixed kbps figure.
Yes, and it is a genuine gain over MP4, which has nowhere dependable to store any of it. OGG carries title, artist, album, year, track number and embedded cover art in the container itself, so a music library files it correctly without a manual pass. OGG Vorbis beats MP3 at equal bitrate and carries no licensing cost, which is why game engines and open-source software adopted it wholesale.
Often not. MP4 is decoded by essentially everything, including car head units and elderly players; OGG needs software that knows the codec, which standalone hardware frequently does not have. If the destination is a car stereo or a portable player, that is a strong argument for staying on MP4. OGG has poor hardware support — car stereos, older iPods and many TVs will not see the file at all.
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
OGG plays in most music players, browsers, and media libraries. iTunes / Apple Music, VLC, Foobar2000, and phone media apps handle it natively.
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.

MP4

MP4 container standard can hold video, audio, subtitles, and images in a single file with excellent compression.

OGG

OGG Vorbis features crisp audio compression comparable to MP3 but completely free and open-source.
