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

Turning WMV into audio isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your WMV and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a WMV that runs small for its era, but modern codecs beat it on both size and quality for audio in whichever format suits: MP3 for reach, WAV for editing headroom.

Why flip WMV to audio

WMV is a time capsule from the Windows XP years: tidy little files with dated manners. It was born in 1999, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is everything Apple, most browsers, and any phone made this decade.

Whatever the recording, audio just wants to be heard: the trick is picking a shape that plays where you need it. Stands in for any audio format Flippy can read: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC and friends. That makes it the right destination when what you need is any sound file: music, voice memos, podcasts, session exports.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMV to audio lose quality?

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

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

Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect a small fraction of the original.

How long does WMV to audio 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.
