Why Convert WMV to AVI?

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

Common use cases

  • You have a WMV file and need it in AVI format.
  • The target software or platform requires AVI but your file is in WMV.
  • Typical use of AVI: Playing back legacy video files from older archives.
  • You want to reduce file size or improve compatibility without using desktop software.
Keep in mind: AVI has poor support for modern codecs, does not support streaming, and generally produces larger files than MP4.
