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

Turning MKV into WMA isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your MKV and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping an MKV that runs as big as whatever you put inside: movie files often run to several gigabytes for a WMA built for keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.

Why flip MKV to WMA

MKV is the format that hoards: video, a dozen audio tracks and every subtitle, all in one box. It was born in 2002, the open-source Matroska project, and its real weak spot is playing on TVs, iPhones and editors that never learned to open the box.

WMA is Windows' old house band: big in the early 2000s, mostly retired now. Windows Media Audio, in several variants including a rarely-sighted lossless one. That makes it the right destination when what you need is keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.

Questions people ask

Will converting MKV to WMA lose quality?

No: extraction copies the audio that's already in the MKV. Whatever the soundtrack sounded like inside the video, that's what your WMA will sound like.

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

Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed.

Where will the WMA file play?

Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help. That's the usual reason people leave MKV behind: WMA simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does MKV to WMA 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.
