WMV to FLAC: extract audio
Pull the soundtrack out of a WMV video and save it as FLAC. Your video stays on your device: nothing is uploaded.
How to convert WMV to FLAC
- Add your WMV files. Drop one or more .wmv files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first video you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the FLAC. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a WMV file?
WMV is Microsoft's old Windows Media Video format, common on Windows PCs, old cameras and video downloads from the 2000s.
What is FLAC?
FLAC is lossless compressed audio: the same sound as a CD or studio master at roughly half the size of WAV.
Why convert WMV to FLAC?
WMV is great for Windows Media Player and old Windows software, but Macs, iPhones, Android and most websites won't play it. FLAC is the better choice for hi-fi music libraries and archiving; keep in mind files are large and many phones, cars and apps don't play FLAC.
Will I lose quality?
No. FLAC is lossless, so every pixel that WMV gave us is kept exactly.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your videos never leave your phone or computer.
Questions
Is this WMV to FLAC converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my WMV files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I convert WMV to FLAC on iPhone or Android?
Yes, in a modern browser. Phones are slower than computers for video, and very long videos can run out of memory on older phones.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit, but your browser has to hold the whole file in memory, so files over about 2 GB may fail.
