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

Turning video into AAC isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your video and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a video that runs anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings for an AAC built for streaming-grade sound at friendly file sizes.

Why flip video to AAC

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

AAC is MP3's better-trained successor: cleaner sound from the same number of bits. Advanced Audio Coding: the default soundtrack of YouTube, iTunes and most MP4 video. That makes it the right destination when what you need is streaming-grade sound at friendly file sizes.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to AAC lose quality?

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

Will the AAC file be bigger or smaller than my video?

Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect similar to MP3, but it sounds better at the same bitrate: or the same at about 25% smaller.

Where will the AAC file play?

Apple everything, YouTube, Android, modern players; patchy on legacy gear. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: AAC simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does video to AAC 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.
