How to convert WMV to MP4

1

Upload your WMV file

Drag and drop the file, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and nothing is installed.

2

Confirm MP4 as the output

MP4 is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. You can switch formats in the panel if you need to.

3

Convert and download

We convert on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the MP4, or keep editing the file in REQO.

Why convert WMV to MP4?

WMV is Microsoft’s Windows Media format. It shows up in old corporate video libraries and PowerPoint exports, and it stops dead the moment a file has to leave Windows.

The practical problem: macOS, iOS and Android need extra software, and usually just fail. Browsers cannot play WMV, so it can never be embedded on a page. Its compression is generations behind H.264, so files are bigger than they need to be.

MP4 solves that. Plays natively on every phone, browser, TV and editing app with no extra codecs. Every upload form accepts it, from YouTube and LinkedIn to Slack and email. H.264 keeps files small enough to send while still looking sharp at 1080p.

WMV is the format that stops the moment a file leaves Windows: no browser plays it, and Macs and phones need extra software. Converting to MP4 makes an old corporate or PowerPoint video shareable again without hunting down codecs.

FAQ

WMV to MP4 questions

Is the WMV to MP4 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 MP4 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.

Does converting WMV to MP4 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 WMV on normal viewing. 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. 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.
