- Add your .OGG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .AMR in a few seconds.
- Download your new .AMR file.
What to expect
- AMR is a speech codec: converting music to it causes a large, unrecoverable quality loss.
- Stereo and higher frequencies are dropped - AMR narrowband is mono and voice-tuned.
- The conversion is lossy on top of OGG's existing lossy compression.
Frequently asked questions
How does OGG sound after converting to AMR?
Quality drops sharply. AMR is a low-bitrate speech codec, so already-compressed Vorbis audio is re-encoded into a format built for voice, not music.
Why convert OGG to AMR?
AMR is the voice codec used in GSM and 3G phones, so this suits speech recordings and voice notes rather than music.
Where does an AMR file play?
VLC plays AMR on all platforms, and it is handled by phone voice and messaging apps that use the 3GPP format.
What is lost in this conversion?
Most musical detail and any stereo image. AMR narrowband is mono and tuned to the range of human speech, so full-range Vorbis content does not survive intact.
