You can convert video to WAV for free: upload your video above and Flippy extracts the audio as WAV in your browser, no signup needed.

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.

Why flip video to WAV

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to WAV lose quality?

No: extraction copies the audio that's already in the video. Whatever the soundtrack sounded like inside the video, that's what your WAV will sound like.

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

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.

Where will the WAV file play?

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.

How long does video to WAV 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.
