How to convert OGG to AU

  1. 1

    Choose your file

    Drop an OGG file onto the converter, or pick one from your device. You can add several at once.

  2. 2

    Select AU

    Pick AU as the output format. Open Settings if you want to control the audio codec, the audio bitrate, and the sample rate, and 2 more.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Convert and download the finished file. No account, and nothing to install.

ogg

Ogg Vorbis

An open, patent-free lossy format that predates Opus and still appears in games and Linux software.

OGG to AU, asked and answered

Does converting OGG to AU lose quality?

Nothing further is lost, but nothing is recovered either. AU stores exactly what the OGG contains, compression artefacts included, and the file is usually several times larger for no visible gain.

Can I convert the AU back to OGG?

Yes, and the file will open — but a round trip is not free. Each pass re-encodes, so going OGG to AU and back leaves you with less than you started with.

What can I change about the AU it produces?

You can set the audio codec, the sample rate, mono or stereo, and where it starts and stops. Anything left on Auto is decided by the encoder, which is usually the right answer unless you are targeting a specific size or device.

Where does the conversion happen?

On our server. The file is sent over HTTPS and converted in a sandbox with no network access of its own; your input and the result go together, removed at once if it fails and otherwise kept for a few minutes so you can download them, then deleted — whether or not you did. There are no accounts for anything to be kept against.

Is there a limit on file size?

Yes — there is a per-file cap and an hourly job limit, because this runs on one small server. The API page states the limits currently in force rather than a number baked into this page.
