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

Turning WMV into FLAC isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your WMV and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a WMV that runs small for its era, but modern codecs beat it on both size and quality for a FLAC built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Why flip WMV to FLAC

WMV is a time capsule from the Windows XP years: tidy little files with dated manners. It was born in 1999, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is everything Apple, most browsers, and any phone made this decade.

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.

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

Questions people ask

Will converting WMV to FLAC lose quality?

No: extraction copies the audio that's already in the WMV. 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 WMV?

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 WMV behind: FLAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMV 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.
