Need Audio from Your MPEG Files?

MPEG videos often contain audio you want to use separately. Maybe it's background music, a podcast recording, or game audio you need in a more flexible format.

Converting to OGG gives you high-quality audio in an open-source format. OGG Vorbis typically delivers better sound quality than MP3 at the same file size, and it's completely free to use with no licensing restrictions.

If you have other MPEG files to work with, our converter handles various output formats.

How to Convert MPEG to OGG

  1. Upload your MPEG file - Drag and drop or click to select your video
  2. Select OGG as output - The audio will be extracted automatically
  3. Download your OGG file - Ready for use in games, web projects, or any player

The entire process happens in your browser. No software installation required.

Why Choose OGG Over MP3?

OGG Vorbis is an open-source audio codec that offers several advantages:

  • Better compression - Same quality at smaller file sizes compared to MP3
  • No patents - Completely free to use in any project, including commercial ones
  • Variable bitrate - Adapts to audio complexity for optimal quality
  • Wide support - Works in Firefox, Chrome, most media players, and game engines

In our testing, OGG files at 128 kbps sounded comparable to MP3 files at 160 kbps, saving about 20% in file size while maintaining audio quality.

Common Use Cases

Game Development

OGG is the preferred audio format for many game engines including Unity and Godot. Extract audio from MPEG source files for sound effects, background music, or voice-overs.

Web Projects

HTML5 audio supports OGG natively in most browsers. Use it for website audio without worrying about licensing fees that come with some other formats.

Podcast Editing

Extract audio from video recordings to edit in audio software. OGG maintains quality through multiple edits better than lossy alternatives.

MPEG vs OGG: Technical Comparison

Understanding the difference helps you know what to expect:

  • MPEG - Video container format that includes both video and audio streams (MPEG-1, MPEG-2)
  • OGG - Audio-only format using Vorbis compression, optimized for music and speech

When converting, we extract the audio stream from your MPEG video and re-encode it as OGG Vorbis. The video portion is discarded, leaving you with just the audio content.

For pure audio extraction without re-encoding, consider MPEG to MP3 if you need maximum compatibility with older devices.

Compatibility and Playback

OGG files work with most modern software and devices:

  • Desktop - VLC, Windows Media Player (with codec), foobar2000, Audacity
  • Mobile - Android (native support), iOS (via third-party apps)
  • Web - Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera (native HTML5 support)
  • Game Engines - Unity, Unreal, Godot, and most indie frameworks

Note that Apple devices don't natively support OGG. If you primarily use iOS or need iTunes compatibility, MPEG to M4A might be a better choice.

Works in Your Browser

No software to download, no accounts to create. Convert MPEG to OGG directly from:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • iPhone, iPad, Android tablets and phones

Your files are processed locally. The conversion happens in your browser, keeping your content private.

Pro Tip

For game audio, export OGG at 96-128 kbps for sound effects and 160-192 kbps for music. The variable bitrate encoding handles dynamic range well, so you don't need to go higher for most game audio.

Common Mistake

Assuming OGG works on all Apple devices. iOS has no native OGG support, so if your audience uses iPhones, provide an M4A alternative or use a format with broader compatibility.

Best For

Game developers needing royalty-free audio, web developers wanting patent-free formats, and anyone working with open-source software that supports OGG natively.

Not Recommended

Skip OGG if your primary audience uses Apple devices without third-party apps, or if you need guaranteed compatibility with older car stereos and portable players that only support MP3.

Frequently Asked Questions

MPEG is a video container format that includes both video and audio, while OGG is an audio-only format using Vorbis compression. Converting MPEG to OGG extracts just the audio portion and saves it in the open-source OGG format.

There's minimal quality loss when converting. OGG Vorbis is an efficient codec that preserves audio quality well. At 128-192 kbps, most listeners can't distinguish OGG from the original audio track.

iOS doesn't natively support OGG. You'll need a third-party app like VLC for iOS to play OGG files on Apple devices. If Apple compatibility is important, consider converting to M4A instead.

OGG offers better audio quality at smaller file sizes compared to MP3. It's also completely open-source with no licensing fees, making it ideal for game development, web projects, and commercial use.

Conversion typically takes a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on file size. A 100 MB MPEG video usually converts in under 30 seconds. Processing happens in your browser, so speed also depends on your device.

Yes, you can upload multiple MPEG files and convert them all to OGG in one batch. This is useful when extracting audio from multiple video clips for a project.

For most purposes, 128-160 kbps provides excellent quality. For archival or professional use, 192-256 kbps is recommended. OGG uses variable bitrate by default, which optimizes quality throughout the file.

No installation required. Our converter runs entirely in your web browser on any device. Just upload your MPEG file and download the converted OGG audio.

Yes, OGG is widely supported in game development. Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and most indie game frameworks support OGG natively, making it ideal for game audio assets.
