WAV is a raw uncompressed audio format (PCM). Quality is perfect and it's the recording studio standard, but files are large, 10x MP3 for the same duration. However, WAV isn't always ideal, especially when you need OGG.
OGG brings the advantage: Open-source MP3 alternative, slightly more efficient, ideal for web and games.
With FORMATTO, you can convert WAV to OGG in seconds. Everything runs 100% on your device: files are never uploaded to any server, so your privacy is guaranteed. Did you know? WAV stores every audio sample without compression, so 1 minute of stereo 44.1kHz is ~10 MB.

Very safe. Your files are processed directly on your device and never uploaded to a server. When the page is closed, no trace remains.
How many files can I convert at once?
You can process many files at once (batch). Download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Why is WAV so large?
Because it's uncompressed. Converting WAV to MP3/OGG usually shrinks 70-80% while still sounding great.
Are WAV files always uncompressed?
WAV is a container whose content is usually uncompressed PCM (16/24-bit), which is why the files are large. It is the go-to format for audio editing and mastering.
When do I need WAV instead of MP3?
When the audio will be edited, mixed, or re-encoded. WAV avoids extra generation loss. For sharing or archiving, MP3 is far more economical.
