Flippy turns WAV into MP4 for free: upload the WAV above and download it wrapped as MP4, sound untouched.

It sounds backwards, but WAV to MP4 is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside an MP4 wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WAV crosses over untouched, and the MP4 that comes out is built for playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks.

Why flip WAV to MP4

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.

MP4 is the world's default video: the file that plays before anyone has to think about it. A container, most often carrying H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio. That makes it the right destination when what you need is playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks.

WAV vs MP4, side by side

WAV MP4
Born 1991, Microsoft and IBM 2001, the MPEG standards group, built on Apple's QuickTime design
Type audio · uncompressed video · container
Best for recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters playing everywhere: browsers, phones, TVs, editors, slide decks
Weak spot being carried around: it refuses to shrink very little day to day: as a container its quality depends on the codec inside
Typical size about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3 roughly 50–100 MB per minute at 1080p, depending on bitrate
Plays on Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. Every browser, phone, TV and editing app worth mentioning.

Questions people ask

Will converting WAV to MP4 lose quality?

No. Wrapping audio in an MP4 container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.

Will the MP4 file be bigger or smaller than my WAV?

About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; MP4 just adds a video-shaped envelope.

Where will the MP4 file play?

Every browser, phone, TV and editing app worth mentioning. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: MP4 simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WAV to MP4 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.
