Flippy turns FLAC into MOV for free: upload the FLAC above and download it wrapped as MOV, sound untouched.

It sounds backwards, but FLAC to MOV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your FLAC audio inside a MOV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your FLAC crosses over untouched, and the MOV that comes out is built for shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.

Why flip FLAC to MOV

FLAC is the audiophile's handshake: CD-perfect sound at roughly half the shelf space. It was born in 2001, Josh Coalson; now kept by the open Xiph.Org Foundation, and its real weak spot is fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLAC to MOV lose quality?

No. Wrapping audio in a MOV container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.

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

About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; MOV just adds a video-shaped envelope.

Where will the MOV file play?

Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. That's the usual reason people leave FLAC behind: MOV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does FLAC to MOV 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.
