You can convert AVI to WAV for free: upload your AVI above and Flippy extracts the audio as WAV in your browser, no signup needed.

Turning AVI into WAV isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your AVI and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping an AVI that runs usually bulky: its era's codecs compress far less than H.264 or H.265 for a WAV built for recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters.

Why flip AVI to WAV

AVI is the veteran of desktop video: dependable in 1995, cranky about everything invented since. It was born in 1992, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is modern life: no proper streaming, no subtitles, no love for modern codecs.

WAV is audio with nothing taken away: every sample intact, every megabyte accounted for. Raw PCM samples in a RIFF wrapper. No compression of any kind. That makes it the right destination when what you need is recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters.

Questions people ask

Will converting AVI to WAV lose quality?

No: extraction copies the audio that's already in the AVI. Whatever the soundtrack sounded like inside the video, that's what your WAV will sound like.

Will the WAV file be bigger or smaller than my AVI?

Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3.

Where will the WAV file play?

Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. That's the usual reason people leave AVI behind: WAV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does AVI to WAV conversion take?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
