WTV to OGA Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Windows TV Recording and Ogg Audio-Only exist for different jobs: WTV is Windows Media Center's TV recording format — tuner captures with metadata, subtitles and multiple audio tracks inside. Converting OGA to MP3 sidesteps the device-support gaps of the Ogg family.
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 WTV format
WTV is Windows Media Center's recording format — what a tuner card wrote when you scheduled a TV show. Inside sits the broadcast transport stream (MPEG-2 or H.264) plus title metadata, subtitle tracks and multiple audio languages, all wrapped in Microsoft's own container.
Media Center died with Windows 10, but the recordings live on: ffmpeg reads WTV natively, so converting to MP4 or MKV keeps the content playable on any device with the metadata you actually care about.

About the OGA format
OGA is the Ogg container's audio-only extension: the same Vorbis (or Opus/FLAC) stream as an OGG file, renamed to signal "this is music, not video". Wikipedia's audio files and old game rips commonly use it.
Functionally it is an OGG — and it inherits the same hardware-support lottery. Converting OGA to MP3 ends the guessing game on phones, car stereos and anything without an Ogg decoder.
+ Strengths
- ✓Open, royalty-free Vorbis audio
- ✓Identical quality to OGG
! Limitations
- −Extension confuses players less familiar with Ogg
- −Same hardware gaps as OGG

Frequently asked questions
Is this WTV to OGA 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 WTV to OGA?
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 OGA, staying in sync with the video. If your WTV file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
