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

Turning video into FLAC 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 a FLAC built for archiving music with zero quality loss and a genuine size saving.

Why flip video to FLAC

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.

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 video to FLAC 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 FLAC will sound like.

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

How long does video 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.
