About the SPX format
SPX is Speex speech audio in an Ogg container — the open voice codec of the 2000s VoIP wave, tuned for telephone-band speech at absurdly low bitrates. Asterisk PBX call recordings and old conferencing archives are where you meet it.
Speex was formally retired in favor of Opus, and players have followed. Converting SPX to MP3 (or Opus for the adventurous) rescues call archives before they become unplayable.

- ✓Extremely compact for speech
- ✓Open-source lineage
! Limitations
- −Speech-only: music is unusable
- −Format officially retired
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 SPX 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 SPX 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.
Are tags like title and artist preserved?
Tag handling varies between target formats and this conversion focuses on the audio itself. For archival copies where tags matter, keep the original file; the converted copy is for playback and sharing.
Can I convert a whole folder of SPX files?
You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
