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.

Why flip audio to FLAC

Whatever the recording, audio just wants to be heard: the trick is picking a shape that plays where you need it. It was born in wherever your microphone, DAW or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing in particular; the limits belong to whichever format it happens to be wearing.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting audio to FLAC lose quality?

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.

Will the FLAC file be bigger or smaller than my audio?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

Where will the FLAC file play?

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.

How long does audio to FLAC conversion take?

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.
