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

It sounds backwards, but audio to FLV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your audio audio inside an FLV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your audio crosses over untouched, and the FLV that comes out is built for nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

Why flip audio to FLV

Whatever the recording, audio just wants to be heard: the trick is picking a shape that plays where you need it. It was born in wherever your microphone, DAW or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing in particular; the limits belong to whichever format it happens to be wearing.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting audio 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 audio?

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 audio behind: FLV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does audio to FLV 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.
