Frequently asked questions
Opus is a modern, open-source audio codec developed by the IETF. It's designed for internet audio — voice calls, video conferencing, and streaming. It's used by WhatsApp for voice messages, Discord for voice channels, and WebRTC-based apps like Google Meet and Zoom. Opus files typically use the .opus extension or are stored inside an OGG container (.ogg).
Yes. Modern WhatsApp (Android and iOS) saves voice messages as Opus audio inside an OGG container — the files often have a .opus or .ogg extension depending on the platform and WhatsApp version. This tool handles both. If you exported voice notes from WhatsApp and they won't play on your computer, drop them here to convert to MP3.
OGG is a container format — like a ZIP file that holds audio data. Opus is a codec — the algorithm that compresses and encodes the audio. An OGG file can contain Vorbis audio, Opus audio, FLAC audio, or others. When someone says "OGG file," they usually mean OGG Vorbis. WhatsApp voice notes are OGG Opus — the OGG container with Opus audio inside. This tool handles both.
The Opus codec is not natively supported by Windows Media Player, older versions of QuickTime, or the iPhone's built-in Files app. Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) can play .opus files, but standalone media players often cannot. Converting to MP3 makes the file play on every device and player without any additional software.
WhatsApp voice notes are encoded at 16 kHz or 24 kHz — that is lower than CD quality, so the resulting MP3 will sound like a voice note, not studio audio. That's the source quality, not the converter. Occasionally, very old WhatsApp exports have malformed headers; if a file fails, try converting it individually rather than in a batch. The output is always mono for voice notes, since the source is mono.
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg.wasm. Your Opus files never leave your device — ConvertYard's servers only deliver the tool code.
