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

It sounds backwards, but audio to MKV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your audio audio inside an MKV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your audio crosses over untouched, and the MKV that comes out is built for high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks.

Why flip audio to MKV

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.

MKV is the format that hoards: video, a dozen audio tracks and every subtitle, all in one box. The Matroska container: it will hold practically any codec ever made. That makes it the right destination when what you need is high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks.

Questions people ask

Will converting audio to MKV lose quality?

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

Will the MKV file be bigger or smaller than my audio?

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

Where will the MKV file play?

VLC and desktop players love it; smart TVs, Apple devices and editors often don't. That's the usual reason people leave audio behind: MKV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does audio to MKV 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.
