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

It sounds backwards, but WAV to WMV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WAV audio inside a WMV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WAV crosses over untouched, and the WMV that comes out is built for old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

Why flip WAV to WMV

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.

WMV is a time capsule from the Windows XP years: tidy little files with dated manners. Windows Media Video, usually inside an ASF container; once the backbone of DRM movie rentals. That makes it the right destination when what you need is old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it.

WAV vs WMV, side by side

WAV WMV
Born 1991, Microsoft and IBM 1999, Microsoft
Type audio · uncompressed video · container
Best for recording, editing and mastering, where every last bit matters old Windows archives and PowerPoint decks that still insist on it
Weak spot being carried around: it refuses to shrink everything Apple, most browsers, and any phone made this decade
Typical size about 10 MB per minute at CD quality: ten times the size of an MP3 small for its era, but modern codecs beat it on both size and quality
Plays on Universal on desktops and pro audio gear; clumsy on the mobile web. Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter.

Questions people ask

Will converting WAV to WMV lose quality?

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

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

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

Where will the WMV file play?

Windows out of the box; everywhere else wants VLC or a converter. That's the usual reason people leave WAV behind: WMV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WAV to WMV 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.
