Flippy turns WAV into MOV for free: upload the WAV above and download it wrapped as MOV, sound untouched.
It sounds backwards, but WAV to MOV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside a MOV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WAV crosses over untouched, and the MOV that comes out is built for shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.
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.
MOV is Apple's homebody: gorgeous on a Mac, awkward everywhere else. The QuickTime container; often H.264 or HEVC, sometimes heavyweight editing codecs like ProRes. That makes it the right destination when what you need is shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.
Drop your WAV file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: MOV is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new MOV.
| WAV | MOV | |
|---|---|---|
| Born | 1991, Microsoft and IBM | 1991, Apple's QuickTime team |
| Type | audio · uncompressed | video · container |
| Best for | recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters | shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue |
| Weak spot | being carried around: it refuses to shrink | traveling: Windows, Android and the web would all rather meet an MP4 |
| Typical size | about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3 | frequently huge: camera and ProRes MOVs can run to gigabytes per minute |
| Plays on | Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. | Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. |
No. Wrapping audio in a MOV container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.
About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; MOV just adds a video-shaped envelope.
Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: MOV 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.
