What is CAF to OGG Converter?
The CAF to OGG Converter decodes Apple Core Audio Format files and re-encodes them as OGG Vorbis. OGG is a patent-free, open-source codec well suited to web audio, Linux systems, and game engines. All conversion runs in your browser using FFmpeg via WebAssembly.
How does CAF to OGG Converter work?
CAF (Core Audio Format) is Apple's proprietary audio container used internally by iOS and macOS applications. OGG Vorbis is a patent-free alternative to MP3 used in Linux, HTML5 web audio, and game engines such as Godot. This tool uses FFmpeg to convert Apple CAF audio into OGG for use outside the Apple ecosystem.

Common Use Cases
Use iOS recordings in web applications
Convert CAF voice memos or GarageBand exports to OGG for embedding in HTML5 audio elements supported by Firefox and Chrome.
Linux audio compatibility
OGG is natively supported on Linux without codec installations. Convert CAF files for use on Linux systems where Apple codecs are unavailable.
Game audio from Apple recordings
Convert CAF audio from iOS or macOS into OGG for use in game engines like Godot that prefer OGG for music and sound effects.
Open-source project audio
Projects that require patent-free audio can use OGG. Convert CAF recordings from Apple devices to satisfy open licensing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OGG supported on Apple devices?
OGG has limited native support on iOS and macOS. Safari does not play OGG natively. Use MP3 or AAC if Apple device compatibility is required.
Does converting CAF to OGG lose quality?
If the CAF contains AAC, a second round of lossy compression is applied. If the CAF contains PCM, only one round of lossy encoding occurs.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FFmpeg runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Files are processed locally.
Why does the first conversion take longer?
The first conversion loads the FFmpeg WebAssembly binary. This takes a few seconds. Subsequent conversions are immediate.
Can I use the OGG file in a Godot game?
Yes. Godot supports OGG Vorbis natively for both music streams and sound effects. Import the OGG file directly into your Godot project.
