WMV to WAV: extract audio
Pull the soundtrack out of a WMV video and save it as WAV. Your video stays on your device: nothing is uploaded.
How to convert WMV to WAV
- Add your WMV files. Drop one or more .wmv files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first video you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the WAV. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a WMV file?
WMV is Microsoft's old Windows Media Video format, common on Windows PCs, old cameras and video downloads from the 2000s.
What is WAV?
WAV is uncompressed audio: exactly what the microphone or instrument produced, used in studios and for editing.
Why convert WMV to WAV?
WMV is great for Windows Media Player and old Windows software, but Macs, iPhones, Android and most websites won't play it. WAV is the better choice for editing, mixing and archiving without loss; keep in mind about ten times bigger than MP3.
Will I lose quality?
No. WAV is lossless, so every pixel that WMV gave us is kept exactly.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your videos never leave your phone or computer.
Questions
Is this WMV to WAV converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my WMV files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I convert WMV to WAV on iPhone or Android?
Yes, in a modern browser. Phones are slower than computers for video, and very long videos can run out of memory on older phones.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit, but your browser has to hold the whole file in memory, so files over about 2 GB may fail.
