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

It sounds backwards, but FLAC to WMV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your FLAC audio inside a WMV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your FLAC crosses over untouched, and the WMV that comes out is built for old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

Why flip FLAC to WMV

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.

WMV is a time capsule from the Windows XP years: tidy little files with dated manners. Windows Media Video, usually inside an ASF container; once the backbone of DRM movie rentals. That makes it the right destination when what you need is old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

Type audio · lossless video · container
Best for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it
Weak spot fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps everything Apple, most browsers, and any phone made this decade
Typical size around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3 small for its era, but modern codecs beat it on both size and quality
Plays on Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLAC to WMV lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the WMV file play?

Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter. That's the usual reason people leave FLAC behind: WMV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does FLAC to WMV 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.
