Is this MOV 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 MOV 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.

Can I use OGG audio from a MOV in a web page?

Yes — OGG Vorbis works in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. For Safari compatibility, provide an AAC version alongside the OGG.

What game engines accept OGG audio?

Godot, Unity, and Unreal Engine all support OGG Vorbis natively. It's the preferred audio format for many open-source games due to its patent-free status.

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 MOV to OGG?

You captured video on your iPhone or Mac and you need the audio for a game, a web application, or a Linux media workflow — contexts where AAC's patent licensing is a practical concern and where OGG Vorbis is the preferred open alternative. MOV wraps AAC audio, which is excellent for Apple platforms but requires licensing for some open-source use cases. OGG is patent-free and royalty-free by design.

This converter extracts the audio from your MOV and re-encodes it as OGG Vorbis. The re-encoding step means going from one lossy format (AAC) to another (OGG Vorbis) — there is a small generation loss, so use the highest quality setting your use case allows. At OGG quality level q5 (around 160 kbps), the output is indistinguishable from the source for most listeners. For game audio assets in Godot or Unity, voice lines in an open-source project, or web audio in a browser application, OGG is the correct deliverable format.

Linux media players including VLC, Rhythmbox, and Clementine support OGG natively. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge play OGG in HTML5 audio elements. Safari does not support OGG natively, so web deployments should provide an AAC fallback for iOS users.

Quality & file size: MOV to OGG

Typical file sizes: MOV 150–500 MB → OGG 2–5 MB.

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

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

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