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

Turning WEBM into FLAC isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your WEBM and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a WEBM that runs often smaller than the equivalent MP4: VP9 and AV1 squeeze harder than H.264 for a FLAC built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Why flip WEBM to FLAC

WEBM is video the way browsers like it: open, royalty-free and built to stream. It was born in 2010, Google, out of its VP8 acquisition, and its real weak spot is life outside the browser: editors, TVs and Apple devices get picky.

FLAC is the audiophile's handshake: CD-perfect sound at roughly half the shelf space. Free Lossless Audio Codec: think ZIP for sound: it decompresses back to the exact original. That makes it the right destination when what you need is archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Questions people ask

Will converting WEBM to FLAC lose quality?

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

Will the FLAC file be bigger or smaller than my WEBM?

Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect around 5 MB per minute: half of WAV, five times an MP3.

Where will the FLAC file play?

Hi-fi gear, Android, VLC, most desktop players; iTunes and Apple Music look away. That's the usual reason people leave WEBM behind: FLAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WEBM to FLAC 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.
