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

It sounds backwards, but WAV to AVI is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside an AVI wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WAV crosses over untouched, and the AVI that comes out is built for opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools.

Why flip WAV to AVI

WAV is audio with nothing taken away: every sample intact, every megabyte accounted for. It was born in 1991, Microsoft and IBM, and its real weak spot is being carried around: it refuses to shrink.

AVI is the veteran of desktop video: dependable in 1995, cranky about everything invented since. Audio Video Interleave: an early container that predates streaming and most codecs you'd use today. That makes it the right destination when what you need is opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools.

Questions people ask

Will converting WAV to AVI lose quality?

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

Will the AVI file be bigger or smaller than my WAV?

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

Where will the AVI file play?

Old Windows software and desktop players; phones and browsers mostly refuse. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: AVI simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WAV to AVI 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.
