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

It sounds backwards, but WMA to WMV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WMA audio inside a WMV wrapper. Where WMV accepts your WMA's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The WMV that comes out is built for old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

A classic WMA to WMV job: aging Windows Media libraries, bound for old presentations and Windows Media holdouts.

Why flip WMA to WMV

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.

WMV is a time capsule from the Windows XP years: tidy little files with dated manners. Windows Media Video, usually inside an ASF container; once the backbone of DRM movie rentals. That makes it the right destination when what you need is old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

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

Best settings for WMA to WMV

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

	WMA	WMV
Born	1999, Microsoft	1999, Microsoft
Type	audio · lossy	video · container
Best for	keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy	old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it
Weak spot	the modern world: Apple devices, browsers and most apps have moved on	everything Apple, most browsers, and any phone made this decade
Typical size	MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed	for video content, small for its era, but modern codecs beat it on both size and quality; wrapping audio alone stays about the size of the WMA
Plays on	Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help.	Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMA to WMV lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the WMV file play?

Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter. That's the usual reason people leave WMA behind: WMV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMA to WMV conversion take?

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