Flippy turns WAV into WEBM for free: upload the WAV above and download it wrapped as WEBM, sound untouched.
It sounds backwards, but WAV to WEBM is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside a WEBM wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WAV crosses over untouched, and the WEBM that comes out is built for embedding on the web without licensing worries.
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.
WEBM is video the way browsers like it: open, royalty-free and built to stream. A Matroska-based container restricted to VP8/VP9/AV1 video with Vorbis or Opus audio. That makes it the right destination when what you need is embedding on the web without licensing worries.
Drop your WAV file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: WEBM is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new WEBM.
| WAV | WEBM | |
|---|---|---|
| Born | 1991, Microsoft and IBM | 2010, Google, out of its VP8 acquisition |
| Type | audio · uncompressed | video · container |
| Best for | recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters | embedding on the web without licensing worries |
| Weak spot | being carried around: it refuses to shrink | life outside the browser: editors, TVs and Apple devices get picky |
| Typical size | about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3 | often smaller than the equivalent MP4: VP9 and AV1 squeeze harder than H.264 |
| Plays on | Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. | Every modern browser; hit-and-miss in editing apps and on Apple hardware. |
No. Wrapping audio in a WEBM 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; WEBM just adds a video-shaped envelope.
Every modern browser; hit-and-miss in editing apps and on Apple hardware. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: WEBM 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.
