How to convert WMV to MP4
WMV files from older Windows software won't play on Macs, phones or in browsers. Converting to MP4 makes them watchable anywhere.
- Drop your WMV file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- MP4 is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your MP4 file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "mp4".
Good to know
- Video becomes H.264 and audio AAC.
- The result is often smaller than the original WMV.
About the formats
.wmv
WMV is Windows Media Video, an older Microsoft format. Macs, phones and browsers generally can't play it without extra software.

Questions
Why won't WMV play on my Mac?
macOS doesn't include Windows Media codecs. MP4 plays natively in QuickTime and every browser.
