FLV to OGG Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
FLV is the Flash-era video container from thousands of old video sites and screen recordings. Modern players have dropped it. Ogg is the standard choice for open-source software, game engines and free platforms.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the FLV format
FLV (Flash Video) was the video format of the early streaming web — YouTube's original delivery container from 2005 to ~2010, played by Adobe Flash Player. Later versions carried H.264/AAC, but the container lived and died with Flash, which reached end-of-life in 2020.
Modern browsers cannot play FLV at all, and only niche players (VLC) bother. If you have an FLV archive, converting to MP4 recovers the same H.264 video into a container every device accepts.

About the OGG format
OGG usually means the Ogg container carrying Vorbis audio — the open-source answer to MP3 from 2000. Vorbis delivered better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate and cost nothing to license, so it spread through game engines (Valve titles), open-source apps and streaming startups. It is technically a container format, so OGG files can also hold Opus or FLAC.
Hardware support was always its ceiling: phones and car systems were slow to add Vorbis, and Opus (also Ogg-based) has since surpassed it technically. Today OGG/Vorbis is best understood as a game-audio and open-ecosystem format.
+ Strengths
- ✓Royalty-free with good quality-per-bit
- ✓Native in game engines and open-source stacks
- ✓Container flexibility (Vorbis/Opus/FLAC)
! Limitations
- −Patchy hardware and car support
- −Technically surpassed by Opus

Frequently asked questions
Is this FLV to OGG converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for FLV to OGG?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of OGG, staying in sync with the video. If your FLV file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Does converting FLV to OGG re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
