| Compression | Lossy → Lossless |
|---|---|

| Opens in | Android, Windows 10/11, macOS and audiophile players; older stereos do not |

OGG files come from games, open-source software, Wikimedia Commons and some voice apps. iPhones and many car stereos do not play OGG. Choose FLAC to keep the audio lossless at roughly half the size of WAV.
Frequently asked questions
Will the FLAC lose quality?
FLAC is lossless, so the conversion keeps every pixel or sample that is in your OGG file. It cannot bring back detail that OGG compression already removed, and the FLAC file will usually be larger.
Will the FLAC be smaller than the OGG?
No, usually larger: a minute of audio takes about 1.2 MB as OGG and about 6.4 MB as FLAC. FLAC is lossless, so its size depends on the audio rather than a bitrate setting.
