OGG to AIFF Converter

Convert OGG to AIFF Online

OGG (Vorbis) is the open audio format common in PC games, Linux apps, and Wikimedia clips, but most audio editors and hardware samplers won't open a .ogg file. Converting to AIFF — Apple's uncompressed PCM format — gives Logic Pro, GarageBand, Pro Tools, and Final Cut Pro a file they can import natively. One honest note up front: OGG is lossy, so decoding it into AIFF does not restore detail discarded during compression. The AIFF sounds identical to the OGG, just in a wrapper your tools accept — and it will be much larger.

How to Convert OGG to AIFF

1. Upload Your OGG File: Drag and drop your .ogg file onto the page or click "+ Add Files" to browse. You can queue several files and convert them with the same settings.
2. Set the Audio Sample Rate: Leave it on "Original" to keep the source rate, or pick a target like 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz to match your project session and avoid a resample prompt in your DAW.
3. Set Audio Channel and Trim (Optional): Keep "Original" channels, force Mono or Stereo, or use Trim to export only the start and duration you need from a longer clip.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and download your AIFF. No sign-up, no watermark.

OGG vs AIFF at a Glance

For a non-Apple uncompressed result use OGG to WAV; to keep files small and shareable instead use OGG to MP3. Going the other direction to shrink an AIFF back down? See AIFF to OGG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will converting OGG to AIFF improve the audio quality?

No. OGG Vorbis is a lossy codec, so any detail discarded when the file was first encoded is already gone and cannot be recovered. AIFF stores the decoded audio as uncompressed PCM, which preserves exactly what the OGG contained — nothing is added or restored. You move to AIFF for compatibility and to stop further generation loss while editing, not to regain fidelity.

Why is the AIFF file so much larger than the OGG?

Because AIFF is uncompressed. OGG packs a minute of stereo audio into roughly a megabyte; the same minute as 44.1 kHz / 16-bit AIFF is about 10 MB, since every sample is stored in full with no compression. In our testing, a 3-minute stereo OGG at 160 kbps (~3.5 MB) converted to a 44.1 kHz / 16-bit AIFF of about 31 MB. The size jump is expected and is the trade-off for an edit-friendly container.

Why won't Logic Pro or Pro Tools open my OGG file directly?

Neither Logic Pro nor Pro Tools reads OGG/Vorbis natively — it isn't in their list of importable audio formats, which is why dragging a .ogg into a session does nothing. AIFF is the native uncompressed format on macOS, so converting first gives those editors a file they accept without a plugin or extra import step. WAV works the same way if your session or collaborators are on Windows.

Should I pick AIFF or WAV for my project?

Both are uncompressed PCM and carry identical audio quality; the difference is byte order and ecosystem. AIFF is big-endian and the traditional choice on Apple platforms, while WAV is little-endian and the de facto standard on Windows. If you work in Logic Pro or Final Cut, AIFF fits cleanly; if your project is Windows-based, use OGG to WAV instead.

What happens to my files after I convert them?

Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and your files are never shared or made public.
