Flippy turns WMA into MOV for free: upload the WMA above and download it wrapped as MOV, sound untouched.

It sounds backwards, but WMA to MOV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WMA audio inside a MOV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WMA crosses over untouched, and the MOV that comes out is built for shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.

Why flip WMA to MOV

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.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMA to MOV lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the MOV file play?

Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. That's the usual reason people leave WMA behind: MOV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMA to MOV 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.
