How it works

How to convert MOV to WMV

Upload your MOV file
Drag and drop a MOV file, or click to browse. Up to 500 MB, and nothing is installed.
Confirm WMV as the output
WMV is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. Switch to another format in the panel if MOV needs to go somewhere else.
Convert and download
We convert the MOV on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the WMV, or keep editing it in REQO.

Why convert MOV to WMV?

MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container. It is what an iPhone and Final Cut hand you, and it can hold anything from ordinary H.264 to enormous ProRes masters, which is exactly why it travels badly outside the Apple ecosystem.

The practical problem: Windows and Android often refuse to play MOV files, or play the picture with no sound. ProRes MOV files from a camera or Final Cut can be ten times larger than the same footage as MP4. Some upload forms reject the extension even when the video inside is ordinary H.264.

WMV solves that. Native to older Windows tooling.

FAQ

MOV to WMV questions

Is the MOV to WMV converter free?

Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the WMV itself beyond the free-plan badge.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android. Nothing to install at either end. Where MOV plays: macOS and iOS natively, patchy elsewhere. Where the WMV you get back plays: Windows; almost nothing else.

Does converting MOV to WMV reduce the quality?

Converting re-encodes the video, so it is not bit-for-bit identical. We encode at a high quality target, which keeps the result visually indistinguishable from the MOV on normal viewing. What changes is the container and the codec. WMV holds: Windows Media Video. Converting the same file back and forth repeatedly will eventually show, so keep your original.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 500 MB per file, which is more footage in some formats than others. MOV: Large, especially ProRes. WMV coming back: Moderate, but dated compression. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.

Is my file kept private?

Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
