It sounds backwards, but audio to MOV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your audio audio inside a MOV wrapper. Where MOV accepts your audio's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The MOV that comes out is built for shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.
A classic audio to MOV job: voice memos, downloads and session exports, bound for Apple-side editing, where it is the house format.
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.
MOV is Apple's homebody: gorgeous on a Mac, awkward everywhere else. The QuickTime container; often H.264 or HEVC, sometimes heavyweight editing codecs like ProRes. That makes it the right destination when what you need is shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.
Drop your audio file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: MOV is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new MOV.
Settings for audio to MOV: none to pick. Where the MOV container accepts your audio's audio codec, the stream is copied bit for bit; where it doesn't, Flippy re-encodes it once and leaves the levels alone.

No. Wrapping audio in a MOV container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.
About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; MOV just adds a video-shaped envelope.
Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. That's the usual reason people leave audio behind: MOV simply opens in more of the places that matter.
Seconds for most audio files: there are no pictures to encode, so wrapping the audio as MOV is nearly as fast as copying it. Both files auto-delete within an hour.
