Is this AVI to OGG converter really free?

Yes. Up to 5 files at a time, no signup, no catch. The free tier adds a small watermark to image output — Pro ($9.99/mo or $49/yr) removes it, raises the file size limit to 500 MB, and unlocks unlimited batch conversion.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No — and you can verify it yourself. Open DevTools → Network tab, then convert a file. You'll see zero upload requests. Everything runs right in your browser. We never see your files.

How long does conversion take?

Usually 1–3 seconds for a typical file. The very first conversion on a fresh page load may take 5–20 seconds while the converter engine loads — after that it's instant. Your CPU does all the work locally.

What is the file size limit?

Free: up to 10 MB per file, 5 files per batch. Pro: up to 500 MB per file, unlimited batch. If you're working with large videos or RAW photos, Pro is built for that.

Can I batch convert multiple AVI files at once?

Yes — drop multiple files at once (or Ctrl/Cmd+click to select them) and they all convert in parallel. Free accounts handle up to 5 files per batch; Pro has no limit.

What bitrate will the converted audio use?

We default to 192 kbps for MP3, 128 kbps for OGG/Opus, and 320 kbps for M4A/AAC. These settings are perceptually transparent — most listeners can't tell the difference in a blind test.

Will my metadata (ID3 tags, album art) be preserved?

Yes, when both formats support it. Tags carry over on conversions like MP3→M4A or FLAC→MP3. WAV has limited tag support, so some metadata may not transfer.

Is OGG better than MP3 for audio extracted from AVI?

OGG Vorbis offers comparable or better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, and is entirely patent-free. For open-source platforms, Linux, and game engines, OGG is preferred.

Can I use OGG audio from AVI in a Godot or Unity game?

Yes — both Godot and Unity have native OGG Vorbis support for audio assets. It's the recommended audio format for many game developers.

How private is this converter?

Completely private — by design, not policy. There is no upload endpoint. Files are processed right inside your browser tab and disappear the moment you close it. We collect only anonymous page-view counts; your file content is never seen or stored.

Why convert AVI to OGG?

AVI is a Microsoft format built for Windows, and while it plays almost everywhere, it carries the baggage of proprietary codecs and a container design that open-source ecosystems tolerate rather than embrace. Linux systems, open-source game engines, and Icecast streaming servers work best with fully open, patent-free formats — which AVI is not.

OGG Vorbis is the audio format designed from the ground up to be open. It is developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation and is completely free of patents and royalty requirements. Unity and Godot use OGG as their preferred audio format for game assets. Icecast streaming servers distribute OGG streams natively. Firefox has supported OGG since its earliest versions. For anyone building open-source tools or distributing audio without licensing concerns, OGG is the natural choice.

Converting AVI audio to OGG gives you a compact, patent-free audio file suited for Linux, game development, and open streaming. The audio from the AVI is extracted and encoded as Vorbis. The quality-to-size ratio is competitive with MP3 and AAC. Keep in mind that OGG has limited support on Apple devices and older hardware — if broad compatibility matters more than openness, MP3 or AAC are better choices.

Quality & file size: AVI to OGG

Typical file sizes: AVI 200–600 MB → OGG 2–5 MB.

Both AVI and OGG use lossy compression. We transcode at high quality settings (equivalent to OGG's recommended web quality) to minimize generational loss.

Color depth: AVI supports standard color, OGG supports standard color.

Transparency: AVI does not support transparency. OGG does not support transparency — transparent areas become solid white.
