  • 02

    A WMV file stays a WMV file

    Upload a MOV, MP4, MKV, or AVI file. A file that is already .wmv is not converted again.

  • 03

    Subtitles are left out

    The download is the picture and, when present, the audio.

Good uses for a WMV converter

When a player or editor expects WMV.

  1. Make a WMV file: Turn a MOV, MP4, or MKV into a .wmv file.

  2. Keep the soundtrack: Audio is written as WMA when the source has an audio track.

  3. Pick a smaller file: Smaller uses a lower video bitrate.
