Turning video into WAV 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 WAV built for recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters.
A classic video to WAV job: camera clips, screen recordings and downloads, bound for editors and audio tools that want every sample intact.
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.
WAV is audio with nothing taken away: every sample intact, every megabyte accounted for. Raw PCM samples in a RIFF wrapper. No compression of any kind. That makes it the right destination when what you need is recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters.
Drop your video file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: WAV is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new WAV.
Quality tip for video to WAV: 16-bit at 44.1 kHz is CD quality and what most editors expect; higher rates only help if the source actually carried them. 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 | being carried around: it refuses to shrink |
| Typical size | anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings | about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3 |

The WAV 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 about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3.
Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: WAV 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.
