Flippy turns WAV into AVI for free: upload the WAV above and download it wrapped as AVI, sound untouched. No signup, and both files delete themselves within an hour.

It sounds backwards, but WAV to AVI is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside an AVI wrapper. Where AVI accepts your WAV's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The AVI that comes out is built for opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools.

A classic WAV to AVI job: raw voice recordings and studio session exports, bound for legacy Windows tools that never learned newer containers.

Why flip WAV to AVI

WAV is audio with nothing taken away: every sample intact, every megabyte accounted for. It was born in 1991, Microsoft and IBM, and its real weak spot is being carried around: it refuses to shrink.

AVI is the veteran of desktop video: dependable in 1995, cranky about everything invented since. Audio Video Interleave: an early container that predates streaming and most codecs you'd use today. That makes it the right destination when what you need is opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools.

Best settings for WAV to AVI

Settings for WAV to AVI: none to pick. Where the AVI container accepts your WAV's audio codec, the stream is copied bit for bit; where it doesn't, Flippy re-encodes it once and leaves the levels alone.

WAV vs AVI, side by side

	WAV	AVI
Born	1991, Microsoft and IBM	1992, Microsoft
Type	audio · uncompressed	video · container
Best for	recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters	opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools
Weak spot	being carried around: it refuses to shrink	modern life: no proper streaming, no subtitles, no love for modern codecs
Typical size	about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3	for video content, usually bulky: its era's codecs compress far less than H.264 or H.265; wrapping audio alone stays about the size of the WAV
Plays on	Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web.	Old Windows software and desktop players; phones and browsers mostly refuse.

Questions people ask

Will converting WAV to AVI lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the AVI file play?

Old Windows software and desktop players; phones and browsers mostly refuse. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: AVI simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WAV to AVI conversion take?

Seconds for most WAV files: there are no pictures to encode, so wrapping the audio as AVI is nearly as fast as copying it. Both files auto-delete within an hour.
