Flippy turns FLAC into MP4 for free: upload the FLAC above and download it wrapped as MP4, sound untouched.

It sounds backwards, but FLAC to MP4 is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your FLAC audio inside an MP4 wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your FLAC crosses over untouched, and the MP4 that comes out is built for playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks.

Why flip FLAC to MP4

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.

MP4 is the world's default video: the file that plays before anyone has to think about it. A container, most often carrying H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio. That makes it the right destination when what you need is playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLAC to MP4 lose quality?

No. Wrapping audio in an MP4 container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.

Will the MP4 file be bigger or smaller than my FLAC?

About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; MP4 just adds a video-shaped envelope.

Where will the MP4 file play?

Every browser, phone, TV and editing app worth mentioning. That's the usual reason people leave FLAC behind: MP4 simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does FLAC to MP4 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.
