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

It sounds backwards, but WMA to AVI is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WMA audio inside an AVI wrapper. Where AVI accepts your WMA'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 WMA to AVI job: aging Windows Media libraries, bound for legacy Windows tools that never learned newer containers.

Why flip WMA to AVI

WMA is Windows' old house band: big in the early 2000s, mostly retired now. It was born in 1999, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is the modern world: Apple devices, browsers and most apps have moved on.

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.

Drop your WMA file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.

Best settings for WMA to AVI

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

WMA vs AVI, side by side

	WMA	AVI
Born	1999, Microsoft	1992, Microsoft
Type	audio · lossy	video · container
Best for	keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy	opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools
Weak spot	the modern world: Apple devices, browsers and most apps have moved on	modern life: no proper streaming, no subtitles, no love for modern codecs
Typical size	MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed	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 WMA
Plays on	Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help.	Old Windows software and desktop players; phones and browsers mostly refuse.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMA 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 WMA?

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 WMA behind: AVI simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMA to AVI conversion take?

Seconds for most WMA 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.
