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

Turning video into WMA 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 WMA built for keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.

Why flip video to WMA

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.

WMA is Windows' old house band: big in the early 2000s, mostly retired now. Windows Media Audio, in several variants including a rarely-sighted lossless one. That makes it the right destination when what you need is keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to WMA 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 WMA will sound like.

Will the WMA 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 MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed.

Where will the WMA file play?

Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: WMA simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does video to WMA 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.
