Converting WAV to OGG Vorbis produces small, royalty-free lossy audio that sounds noticeably cleaner than MP3 at matching bitrates. It's the format of choice for game audio engines, Linux applications, and anyone who wants to avoid patent-encumbered codecs.

Vorbis is lossy; the encoder throws away psychoacoustically masked content for compression. Quality at a given bitrate generally beats MP3 and nearly matches AAC. Below 96 kbps Vorbis still sounds usable where MP3 is falling apart, which is why it's popular for voice and game audio.
OGG plays natively on Android, Linux, Windows (with codecs or VLC), and every major browser except Safari. Game engines support it directly. The main gap is iOS, where you'll want AAC instead.
WAV is Microsoft and IBM's uncompressed PCM container. A stereo CD-quality recording takes about 10 MB per minute. Because nothing is thrown away and nothing is compressed, WAV is the universal working format for recording, editing, and mastering in every major DAW.
OGG Vorbis is a royalty-free lossy codec developed by Xiph.Org. At comparable bitrates it sounds cleaner than MP3, especially at 96 kbps and below, and it's the audio format used by Spotify's streams, most modern games, and open-source projects that want to avoid patent encumbrances.
Better quality at low bitrates, no patent licensing issues, and native support in major game engines. The downside is weaker support on Apple platforms and some consumer hardware.
OGG uses quality levels (q0 through q10) rather than kbps. Quality 4 (~128 kbps) is a solid default for music; quality 6 (~192 kbps) is transparent for most listeners; quality 8+ is for archival use.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your audio files are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Files over about 2 GB total can get slow or hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
