Worked example

Convert OGG to WAV to give an editor or DAW plain 16-bit PCM: about nine times larger than a 160 kbps Vorbis file, with no detail restored.

Decoding an Ogg to WAV writes out exactly what Vorbis or Opus produced: the lossy artefacts stay and nothing is repaired. Opus is internally 48 kHz, so for Opus sources Keep source is normally the right sample-rate choice, while pushing a 44.1 kHz Vorbis file to 48000 only adds a resampling pass.

Size math: at 44.1 kHz stereo the WAV is 10.58 MB per minute, so a 3-minute Ogg at 160 kbps (3.6 MB) becomes 31.75 MB. A 48 kHz source runs at 192,000 bytes per second, 11.52 MB per minute, and a 60-minute podcast reaches about 691 MB.

Scenario: a game audio designer pulls an Ogg sound effect out of a project and needs WAV for a plug-in or middleware that imports PCM. Short effects convert in seconds, but an hour-long file takes longer and plenty of browser memory, so split very long files first.

Common mistake: labelling the result as lossless. Fix: record the source codec in the name, for example voice_from-ogg.wav, so nobody treats it as a master. Check that the duration equals the Ogg's, that the byte size is close to seconds × bytes per second, and that looping effects do not click at the join.

sample.wav

A WAV does not carry Ogg comment tags in a way most players read, so keep notes in the file name.
