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

Turning AVI into FLAC isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your AVI and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping an AVI that runs usually bulky: its era's codecs compress far less than H.264 or H.265 for a FLAC built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Why flip AVI to FLAC

AVI is the veteran of desktop video: dependable in 1995, cranky about everything invented since. It was born in 1992, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is modern life: no proper streaming, no subtitles, no love for modern codecs.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting AVI to FLAC lose quality?

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

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

How long does AVI 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.
