Flippy turns FLAC into video for free: upload the FLAC above and download it wrapped as video, sound untouched. No signup, and both files delete themselves within an hour.

It sounds backwards, but FLAC to video is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your FLAC audio inside a video wrapper. Where the container accepts your audio codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. Either way the video that comes out is ready for whichever video-only platform was refusing your FLAC.

A classic FLAC to video job: lossless music archives and hi-fi rips, bound for wherever the clip needs to play next.

Why flip FLAC to video

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.

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. Stands in for any video format Flippy can read: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and the rest. That makes it the right destination when what you need is any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads.

Best settings for FLAC to video

Settings for FLAC to video: none to pick. Where the video container accepts your FLAC's audio codec, the stream is copied bit for bit; where it doesn't, Flippy re-encodes it once and leaves the levels alone.

FLAC vs video, side by side

FLAC video
Born 2001, Josh Coalson; now kept by the open Xiph.Org Foundation wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from
Type audio · lossless video · any format
Best for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads
Weak spot fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks
Typical size around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3 for video content, anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings; wrapping audio alone stays about the size of the FLAC
Plays on Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. Depends on the container and the codec inside it.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLAC to video lose quality?

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

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

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

How long does FLAC to video conversion take?

Seconds for most FLAC files: there are no pictures to encode, so wrapping the audio as video is nearly as fast as copying it. Both files auto-delete within an hour.
