MP3 to Ogg

Re-encode an MP3 as Ogg Vorbis for a game engine or open-source pipeline that expects it. Both codecs are lossy, so this decodes the MP3 and encodes fresh Vorbis frames rather than repacking anything.

Input

Options

MP3 to Ogg turns an MP3 into Vorbis frames for a game engine or an open source pipeline built around that codec. Both formats are lossy, so nothing from the compressed MP3 bytes survives; the audio decodes once and Vorbis gets written fresh. WebCodecs runs the encode, so this page needs a browser.

Questions

Why convert one lossy format to another?

Compatibility with a game engine or open-source pipeline that expects Vorbis specifically, not a quality gain. Ogg Vorbis and MP3 are both lossy, so this decodes the MP3 and encodes fresh Vorbis frames rather than repacking anything.

Does quality improve or degrade?

It degrades slightly, the ordinary cost of a second lossy encode. Nothing the MP3 already discarded returns, and the fresh Vorbis encoding adds its own small loss on top.

Which engine handles this, and where can it run?

mediabunny and WebCodecs decode the MP3 and encode fresh Ogg Vorbis frames at the chosen quality, low, medium or high, medium by default, the same three-preset control used across this pipeline. This is browser only; the command line and MCP refuse it and point to the web page.

What size should I expect?

A real Ogg file starting with the OggS magic bytes, in the same rough size range as the source MP3 for equivalent audio, verified against the fixture test.

What is the reverse page?

Ogg to MP3 runs the opposite direction, the reverse pair of this one, decoding the Vorbis and re-encoding fresh MP3 frames.

The video is decoded only to be thrown away, and the audio is re-encoded to MP3 rather than copied.Runs on each file you dropn→nM4A to MP3Convert an M4A (AAC in an MP4 audio container) to MP3. Both are lossy, so this is a second lossy encode on top of the first: some quality that AAC already discarded stays gone, and MP3 discards more of its own.Runs on each file you dropn→nWAV to MP3Compress an uncompressed WAV recording into MP3. This is the one pair here where real compression happens for the first time, so the file shrinks by roughly a factor of ten at the default quality.Runs on each file you dropn→nMP3 to WAVDecode an MP3 into an uncompressed WAV.

Both codecs are lossy, so this decodes Vorbis and re-encodes to MP3 rather than repacking the same compressed bytes.Runs on each file you dropn→nFLAC to MP3Compress a lossless FLAC down to MP3. This is the one direction here where real audio quality is thrown away on purpose, traded for a file roughly a tenth the size at the default quality setting.Runs on each file you dropn→nAAC to MP3Convert a raw ADTS AAC stream to MP3 for hardware and older apps that never added AAC decoding. AAC is usually the higher-quality codec at a given bitrate, so this trades some of that quality for wider compatibility.Runs on each file you dropn→nOpus to MP3Convert an Opus file, the codec behind most voice notes and Discord recordings, to MP3 for software that cannot open it. Opus stays small at low bitrates that make MP3 audibly worse, so the MP3 usually ends up the larger file.Runs on each file you drop
