Why convert OGG files to AIFF?

Converting OGG to AIFF produces uncompressed, sample-accurate audio ideal for professional recording, editing, and archiving workflows.

Will AIFF files be larger than my original OGG files?

Yes, AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio, so resulting files will be much larger than compressed OGG originals.

Can I convert all OGG files to AIFF successfully?

Conversion depends on the codec inside the OGG file (Vorbis, Opus, or FLAC); some older tools may not support newer codecs without proper decoders.

Does AIFF support metadata like OGG?

AIFF supports basic metadata through its chunked structure but has less extensive metadata support compared to OGG.

Common Use Cases

Converting compressed OGG music files to uncompressed AIFF masters for mixing and mastering
Preparing audio files for import/export between DAWs and professional audio hardware
Creating large, lossless audio copies suitable for archiving or long-term storage

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the OGG file codec is supported (Vorbis, Opus, or Ogg-encapsulated FLAC) to guarantee successful conversion
Be aware that AIFF files will be much larger than OGG originals due to uncompressed audio data
Use AIFF for professional workflows requiring sample-accurate, high-quality audio without loss
Check compatibility of your playback or editing software with AIFF’s big-endian byte ordering if necessary

Limitations

AIFF files created are significantly larger than compressed OGG files because AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio
Conversion success depends on the OGG file’s contained codec and may require appropriate decoders
Big-endian byte order of AIFF might require conversion for compatibility on some platforms
File extension ambiguity (.ogg vs .oga) and varying codec support may affect conversion or playback assumptions
