HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your WEM file
Drag and drop a .wem file extracted from a game or sound bank, or select it from your device.
02
Convert to OGG
Keep OGG as the output format and start. The sound is decoded and encoded as standard Ogg Vorbis at quality 5.
03
Download the OGG
Download one .ogg per .wem. It opens in VLC, foobar2000, Audacity, Godot, Unity and most media players.
WEM
WEM is the audio file format of Audiokinetic Wwise, the sound engine behind many PC and console games. Each .wem holds one sound, such as a music track, voice line or effect, encoded as Wwise Vorbis, PCM, ADPCM, Opus, AAC or XMA2, sometimes with loop points. Modders pull .wem files from game folders and sound banks, but regular media players can't open them.
OGG
OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a free and open audio format with efficient lossy compression. It plays in VLC, foobar2000, Firefox, Chrome and on Android, and game engines such as Godot and Unity import it for music and effects.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
WEM is the audio file of Audiokinetic Wwise, the middleware behind the sound of many PC and console games. A .wem can hold Wwise's own Vorbis variant, Opus, ADPCM, PCM, AAC or XMA2, often with loop points. Standard Ogg players can't read Wwise Vorbis, so .wem files need vgmstream or a converter.
TARGET
An .ogg file is audio in Xiph.Org's open Ogg container, usually Vorbis and sometimes Opus or FLAC. Ogg Vorbis is royalty-free, so game engines such as Unity, Godot and RPG Maker, Minecraft resource packs and many open-source apps use it. Android, Chrome and Firefox play it; older iPhones and some car stereos don't.
| Feature | WEM | OGG |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Audiokinetic (Wwise) | Xiph.Org |
| File extension | .wem | .ogg |
| Compression | Wwise Vorbis, Opus, ADPCM, PCM | Lossy (Vorbis) mostly |
| Size vs uncompressed WAV | Varies by codec | About 1/8 |
| Tags and cover art | Loop points and markers | Vorbis comments |
| Best for | Game music, voice and effects | Games and open-source apps |
| Plays on phones and browsers | No, needs vgmstream | Android, Chrome, Firefox |
USE CASES
Practical workflows where WEM to OGG conversion is useful.
Use game sounds in a Godot or Unity project
Import a converted .ogg straight into a prototype or fan project, since both engines read Ogg Vorbis.
Add sounds to a Minecraft resource pack
Minecraft Java Edition resource packs use .ogg files for sounds, so a converted file can go straight into the pack's sounds folder.
Play game music in VLC or foobar2000
Listen to an extracted soundtrack in a desktop player that handles OGG, without a Wwise plugin.
Get a playable OGG without ww2ogg
Skip running ww2ogg and revorb when you just need a standard .ogg to listen to or reuse. The file is a fresh Vorbis encode, not a repack.
Keep a compact sound collection
Ogg Vorbis at quality 5 keeps files small, about 119 kbps for stereo in tests, while staying easy to play.
Preview sounds while modding
Hear what a numbered .wem holds before you replace it in a mod, without installing Wwise.
Put game sounds on an Android phone
Android plays Ogg Vorbis natively, so a converted effect or jingle works as a notification or alarm sound.
Hear surround game audio on headphones
A 5.1 or 7.1 .wem is mixed to stereo by speaker position, so center-channel dialogue is heard in both ears.
Get looping music with a clean ending
Music that loops inside the file plays the loop one extra time and then fades out over 10 seconds, so the track ends cleanly.
Use sounds in an open-source editor
Open converted sounds in Audacity, Kdenlive or Blender's video editor, which all read Ogg Vorbis.
SUPPORTED FILES
Audiokinetic Wwise .wem files are supported.
Turned into a standard .ogg that players read.
PCM, ADPCM and Opus .wem files convert too.
Rendered the way the game plays them.
Channels are kept.
Upload many WEM files and download the OGGs as a ZIP.
Only convert audio from games you own or have permission to use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Game audio works differently from normal music files, which explains most surprises.
01
Looping game music is rendered the way the game plays it: the looped section plays once more, then fades out over 10 seconds. A loop covering the whole track plays once.
02
Some games encrypt .wem files with their own key, which can't be supplied.
03
Bad rips can leave .wem files with a header but no audio. Extract them again.
04
Older iOS versions don't play Ogg Vorbis. Use WEM to MP3 instead.
05
The file is damaged, isn't really WEM audio, or was extracted with the wrong tool. Extract it again from the game files and retry.
06
Use WEM to WAV for an uncompressed file.
vgmstream is the reference decoder for game audio, used through foobar2000 or the command line. dragdropdo runs the same decoder in the browser, so you can turn WEM into OGG on any device.
| What matters | dragdropdo | vgmstream and Desktop Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing to install | ✓Yes. Runs in any modern browser. | ~foobar2000 plus the vgmstream plugin, or vgmstream-cli. |
| Works on phones and tablets | ✓Yes. Desktop, Android, iPhone and iPad. | ~No. Windows and command-line tools. |
| Batch conversion | ✓Yes. Add many files and download one ZIP. | ~Yes, with scripts or foobar2000's converter. |
| Share finished files | ✓Yes. Send a unique link from the result page. | ~You upload and share the files yourself. |
| Pricing | ✓Free with daily limits. $2.99 or $6.99 passes for unlimited use, no monthly plan. | ~Free. |
| Choosing loop count and fade | ✓Fixed: an inner loop plays twice, then fades over 10 seconds. | ~Yes. vgmstream-cli sets the loop count and fade length. |
Other tools use different pricing, limits and workflows. This comparison describes dragdropdo's own features without assuming every other tool works the same way.
