Convert AVI Files to WMV on Your Device
Make a WMV copy of AVI in your browser for Windows playback. On-device processing keeps the original media local from selection to download.

Preview (optional)
When your browser supports it, your video appears here. If preview does not load, you can still convert your file normally.

No worries — your video can still be converted. Set your file name and click Convert when you are ready.
Quick use cases
- Adapt legacy playback and editing to a workflow built for Windows playback
- Supply WMV when an editor, player, or delivery form will not accept AVI
- Create a WMV copy from AVI for Windows Media players and older presentations
Workflow
- Choose a AVI file from your device
- Set the download name for the new WMV
- Create the WMV version
- Open the downloaded WMV in its intended workflow
Processing notes
- On-device encoding can work the processor harder than ordinary playback during this AVI-to-WMV job.
- A short AVI sample is quicker to process than a full-length recording.
- Inspect the WMV file in the exact player or editor that will receive it.
Compatibility notes
- WMV serves Windows Media players and older presentations, whereas AVI commonly serves older Windows players and capture tools.
- For AVI-to-WMV delivery, plan for limited support on non-Windows platforms.
- After leaving AVI, the receiving app must support the streams encoded inside WMV, not only its extension.
Troubleshooting
- AVI to WMV taking too long? Process a shorter section to determine whether file size is the bottleneck.
- WMV converted from AVI not opening? Test a compatible player and inspect the output streams.
- Check whether the receiver supports this WMV variant: limited support on non-Windows platforms.
AVI to WMV converter FAQ
When does AVI to WMV conversion make sense?
It is useful when AVI media created for legacy playback and editing must enter a WMV system designed for Windows playback.
Where is the AVI source processed?
The browser prepares WMV from AVI on this device instead of sending the source to a remote conversion server.
How can I approve WMV converted from AVI?
Test the WMV file in the receiving app and compare duration, picture, sound and timing with the AVI source.
