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

It sounds backwards, but FLAC to WEBM is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your FLAC audio inside a WEBM wrapper. Where WEBM accepts your FLAC's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The WEBM that comes out is built for embedding on the web without licensing worries.

A classic FLAC to WEBM job: lossless music archives and hi-fi rips, bound for embedding on the open web, royalty-free.

Why flip FLAC to WEBM

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.

WEBM is video the way browsers like it: open, royalty-free and built to stream. A Matroska-based container restricted to VP8/VP9/AV1 video with Vorbis or Opus audio. That makes it the right destination when what you need is embedding on the web without licensing worries.

How to convert FLAC to WEBM

1
Drop your FLAC file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
2
Check the output format: WEBM is already selected for you.
3
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new WEBM.

Best settings for FLAC to WEBM

Settings for FLAC to WEBM: none to pick. Where the WEBM 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 WEBM, side by side

	FLAC	WEBM
Born	2001, Josh Coalson; now kept by the open Xiph.Org Foundation	2010, Google, out of its VP8 acquisition
Type	audio · lossless	video · container
Best for	archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving	embedding on the web without licensing worries
Weak spot	fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps	life outside the browser: editors, TVs and Apple devices get picky
Typical size	around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3	for video content, often smaller than the equivalent MP4: VP9 and AV1 squeeze harder than H.264; 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.	Every modern browser; hit-and-miss in editing apps and on Apple hardware.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLAC to WEBM lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the WEBM file play?

Every modern browser; hit-and-miss in editing apps and on Apple hardware. That's the usual reason people leave FLAC behind: WEBM simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does FLAC to WEBM conversion take?

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