What compressing WAV actually does
WAV is completely uncompressed: about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3: which makes it the most shrinkable thing you can upload. The honest catch: a WAV stays WAV, so for a serious size cut the winning move is usually a format flip to FLAC (lossless, about half) or MP3 (a tenth). This tool handles the gentle path; the converter handles the dramatic one.
Questions people ask
How much smaller will my WAV get?
It depends on how generously it was encoded: WAV typically runs about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3, and most files give up 30–70% at the medium preset before quality visibly suffers.
Will I lose quality working with WAV here?
WAV keeps every sample, so quality decisions only enter when you choose a lossy output: and Flippy will be upfront about that trade.
Is this WAV compressor really free?
Yes: free for everyday use with no daily cap, no signup, and your files delete themselves from our servers within an hour. Pro exists for heavy days: bigger files, whole folders at once.
