VOC Converter
FileFlip converts VOC files into 11 other formats entirely inside your browser, using FFmpeg and WebCodecs compiled to WebAssembly. The VOC file is never uploaded to a server: it is read off your disk, converted on your own machine, and saved back by the browser. There is no file-size limit and no account to create.
How do I convert a VOC file?#
- Drop your VOC file onto the converter at the top of this page, or click it to pick one from your computer.
- Choose the format you want out of it. FileFlip downloads the engine that conversion needs, once, and your browser caches it.
- Conversion starts the moment you pick the format, and the result is yours to download. The work happens in this tab, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is queued.
Is it safe to convert VOC files online?#
Yes, because nothing is uploaded. FileFlip converts VOC files inside the browser tab you already have open, using WebAssembly builds of the same engines a desktop converter would install. Your file is read from your own disk into the page's memory, and no request carrying it is ever made.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open your browser's network panel, run a conversion, and you will see the engine come down and your file go nowhere. There is no upload, no server-side copy, no retention window, and no account tied to what you converted.
How FileFlip works lists every engine, its version and its download size, and shows how to check for yourself that nothing leaves your machine.

What is a VOC file?#
A VOC file holds audio in Creative Voice File format, the format Creative Labs introduced alongside the original Sound Blaster card in 1989 for storing digitized speech and sound effects in DOS-era games.
VOC mainly shows up today inside old DOS games and their emulation via DOSBox, where the original sound assets were never converted to a newer format.
Convert VOC to WAV to play or edit the audio in current software, since almost every modern audio tool reads WAV and very few still read VOC.
The VOC file format reference covers the specification, the programs that open one, and what each conversion keeps or drops.
VOC questions people ask#
What creates a VOC file?
VOC files come from Creative Labs' own Sound Blaster recording software and from DOS-era games that shipped their speech and sound effects in this format, since VOC was the native audio format for early Sound Blaster cards.
What still opens VOC files?
Audacity and VLC open VOC files on any current operating system, and DOSBox reads them as part of running the original DOS games they came from. Mainstream media players generally do not support the format.
What should I convert a VOC file to?
Convert VOC to WAV for the widest compatibility with current media players and audio editors. Most VOC files hold uncompressed PCM data, so converting to WAV loses nothing.
