Turning video into FLAC isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your video and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a video that runs anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings for a FLAC built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.
A classic video to FLAC job: camera clips, screen recordings and downloads, bound for the archive shelf, at half the size of WAV.
Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It comes from wherever your camera, screen recorder or download made it.
FLAC is the audiophile's handshake: CD-perfect sound at roughly half the shelf space. Free Lossless Audio Codec: think ZIP for sound: it decompresses back to the exact original. That makes it the right destination when what you need is archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.
Drop your video file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: FLAC is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new FLAC.
Quality tip for video to FLAC: there is no quality dial to fret over, since every FLAC compression level decodes to bit-identical audio; higher levels just pack a little tighter. The track inside your video sets the ceiling: an extraction can match it, never beat it.

| Weak spot | nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks | fitting in pockets: lossless is still large: and charming Apple's own apps |
| Typical size | anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings | around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3 |
| Plays on | Depends on the container and the codec inside it. | Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. |
The FLAC is encoded once from the exact track inside the video: from a typical soundtrack the difference is inaudible, but it can't sound better than what the video carried.
Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3.
Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: FLAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.
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.
