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

It sounds backwards, but WMA to FLV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WMA audio inside an FLV wrapper. Where FLV accepts your WMA's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The FLV that comes out is built for nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

A classic WMA to FLV job: aging Windows Media libraries, bound for the odd legacy pipeline that still demands Flash video.

Why flip WMA to FLV

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.

FLV is a relic of the Flash era: the format YouTube grew up on, stranded when Flash died. The Flash Video container, typically holding old H.263, VP6 or early H.264 streams. That makes it the right destination when what you need is nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

1
Drop your WMA file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
2

Best settings for WMA to FLV

Settings for WMA to FLV: none to pick. Where the FLV 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 FLV, side by side

	WMA	FLV
Born	1999, Microsoft	2002, Macromedia (later Adobe), for Flash Player
Type	audio · lossy	video · container
Best for	keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy	nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued
Weak spot	the modern world: Apple devices, browsers and most apps have moved on	playing anywhere at all since Flash was switched off in 2020
Typical size	MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed	for video content, small files with dial-up-era expectations about quality; wrapping audio alone stays about the size of the WMA
Plays on	Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help.	Almost nothing modern; VLC and converters are its retirement home.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMA to FLV lose quality?

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

Will the FLV file be bigger or smaller than my WMA?

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

Where will the FLV file play?

Almost nothing modern; VLC and converters are its retirement home. That's the usual reason people leave WMA behind: FLV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMA to FLV conversion take?

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