Is my audio file uploaded to a server?

No. FFmpeg is compiled to WebAssembly and runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is loaded into browser memory only and is never transmitted to any server.

What is OGG Vorbis and why use it?

OGG Vorbis is an open, royalty-free lossy audio codec. Unlike MP3, it is free of software patents, making it the preferred format for open-source games, Linux applications, and web platforms that avoid proprietary formats.

Will converting from MP3 to OGG improve audio quality?

No. MP3 is already lossy, so converting to another lossy codec (OGG Vorbis) does not recover discarded audio data. The output will sound similar to the source. The benefit is format compatibility and patent freedom, not higher quality.

Why does loading take a few seconds the first time?

FFmpeg.wasm is a roughly 10 MB WebAssembly binary that must be downloaded and compiled by your browser before conversion can begin. This happens once per page visit. Subsequent conversions on the same page are instant.

What quality setting does the converter use?

The tool uses FFmpeg's default OGG Vorbis variable bitrate quality level (around 128–160 kbps), which provides a good balance between file size and audio fidelity for most use cases.

What browsers are supported?

Any modern browser with WebAssembly and SharedArrayBuffer support: Chrome 68+, Edge 79+, Firefox 79+, and Safari 15.2+. The page will show an error if your browser does not support the required APIs.
