Xvid to FLAC Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Xvid Video and FLAC Lossless Audio exist for different jobs: Xvid is the open-source DivX competitor — the other MPEG-4 ASP encoder behind a decade of movie downloads. Convert to FLAC when you want a permanent, lossless archive of your music.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the Xvid format
Xvid is the open-source implementation of the same MPEG-4 ASP profile DivX commercialized — after the original was open-sourced following a legal scuffle, Xvid became the encoder of choice for a decade of scene releases and personal rips.
Identical migration path as DivX: decode through ffmpeg, re-encode to H.264. The video quality at its usual bitrates survives the trip better than DivX's worst files, thanks to Xvid's tunable quantization.
+ Strengths
- ✓Open-source and configurable
- ✓Enormous existing content corpus
- ✓Decodes via ffmpeg everywhere
! Limitations
- −Same ASP-era limitations as DivX
- −Packed bitstream quirks in some files
- −Development ended years ago
About the FLAC format
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec, Xiph, 2001) compresses audio to roughly 50–60% of its PCM size and restores every bit on playback — a ZIP for music that also carries proper tags, hi-res support up to 32-bit/655 kHz on paper (24-bit/192 kHz in practice) and full open-source pedigree. It is the archive format of digital music collections.
Support followed maturity: every serious player, modern Android (system-level), most cars and streaming purists' devices handle FLAC natively. Apple resisted for years but iOS 11+ plays it, with the caveat that iTunes/Apple Music syncing still prefers ALAC. The price of losslessness is size — about five times MP3 at comparable quality.
+ Strengths
- ✓Bit-perfect lossless with real compression
- ✓Hi-res capable (24-bit/192 kHz)
- ✓Open, unpatented, tag-native
! Limitations
- −~5× the size of lossy formats
- −Apple syncing prefers ALAC
- −Overkill for casual listening
Why convert Xvid to FLAC?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of FLAC meet what Xvid cannot give you. Bit-perfect lossless with real compression Meanwhile Same ASP-era limitations as DivX One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Xvid to FLAC converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for Xvid to FLAC?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Does converting Xvid to FLAC re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
