Why Convert AVI to WMV?

Converting AVI to WMV is a common task whenever a file has to work somewhere that expects the other format. AVI is one of the oldest video container formats, introduced by Microsoft in 1992. WMV is the Windows Media Video format that Microsoft introduced in 1999 for streaming and playback on Windows. This converter makes the switch locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common use cases

  • You have a AVI file and need it in WMV format.
  • The target software or platform requires WMV but your file is in AVI.
  • Typical use of WMV: Opening old Windows recordings on a phone, tablet or Mac.
  • You want to reduce file size or improve compatibility without using desktop software.
Keep in mind: Browsers and phones cannot play WMV natively and the format is considered obsolete. Files created here use the classic WMV2 codec for maximum Windows compatibility.

How to Convert AVI to WMV

AVI is one of the oldest video container formats, introduced by Microsoft in 1992. While largely superseded by MP4 for most purposes, AVI remains widely recognised and stored in archives.

WMV (Windows Media Video)

WMV is the Windows Media Video format that Microsoft introduced in 1999 for streaming and playback on Windows. It stores video in an ASF container and still turns up in old camera footage, screen recordings and corporate archives.
