Whatever kind of audio you're holding: a voice memo, a session export, something a client sent: flipping it to FLAC gets you a file built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving. Flippy reads practically any audio format and writes clean FLAC, so you don't even need to know what the original is.
A classic audio to FLAC job: voice memos, downloads and session exports, bound for the archive shelf, at half the size of WAV.
Whatever the recording, audio just wants to be heard: the trick is picking a shape that plays where you need it. It comes from wherever your camera, screen recorder or download made it.
FLAC is the audiophile's handshake: CD-perfect sound at roughly half the shelf space. Free Lossless Audio Codec: think ZIP for sound: it decompresses back to the exact original. That makes it the right destination when what you need is archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.
Drop your audio file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: FLAC is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new FLAC.
Settings guidance for any audio file to FLAC: there is no quality dial to fret over, since every FLAC compression level decodes to bit-identical audio; higher levels just pack a little tighter. Flippy handles the codec choices, so the only real decision was picking FLAC.
| audio | FLAC | |
|---|---|---|
| Born | wherever your microphone, DAW or download came from | 2001, Josh Coalson; now kept by the open Xiph.Org Foundation |
| Type | audio · any format | audio · lossless |
| Best for | any sound file: music, voice memos, podcasts, session exports | archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving |
| Weak spot | nothing in particular; the limits belong to whichever format it happens to be wearing | fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps |
| Typical size | anywhere from tiny voice notes to studio-sized masters | around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3 |
| Plays on | Depends entirely on the format it lands in. | Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. |
Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.
It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.
Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. That's the usual reason people leave audio behind: FLAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.
Seconds for most files: audio is light work. A long recording might take a minute; your file auto-deletes from our servers within an hour either way.
