How to convert WMV to MP3

MP3 plays on every phone, car stereo, speaker and media player, which makes it the safest format for sharing audio. The WMV is converted with FFmpeg, the industry-standard media engine, on our server and deleted immediately afterwards. It is the easiest way to keep the music, a talk or a voice track from a video.

Step 1: Choose your WMV file
Drag and drop a .wmv file onto the converter or click to browse. It works on desktop, tablet and phone.
Step 2: Convert to MP3
The file is converted by FFmpeg on a secure server.
Step 3: Download the MP3
Save the MP3 file to your device. You can start again with another file right away.

Good to know

Only the soundtrack is extracted; the video stream is discarded, so the result is much smaller than the original.
The default 192 kbps is transparent for most listeners; choose 320 kbps for music archiving or 128 kbps for speech and podcasts.

About the formats

What is WMV?

WMV (Windows Media Video) is a family of video codecs developed by Microsoft, usually stored in the ASF (Advanced Systems Format) container. It was widely used for downloads, streaming and Windows Movie Maker projects in the 2000s. It plays natively on Windows, but macOS, iOS, Android and web browsers generally need extra software to open it.

You will mostly find WMV in older Windows video archives. Keep it only if a Windows-based system requires it; for watching on phones and Macs, uploading to the web or editing, converting WMV to MP4 avoids compatibility problems.

What is MP3?

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is a lossy audio format developed largely at the Fraunhofer Institute and standardised by MPEG in the early 1990s. It removes sounds that human hearing is unlikely to notice, shrinking files dramatically. Quality depends on the bitrate: higher bitrates sound closer to the original. Its patents have expired and virtually every player, car stereo and browser supports it.

Use MP3 when compatibility is the priority: podcasts, music for older devices, audio for websites or files you send to anyone. For archiving or editing, keep a lossless original such as WAV or FLAC, because each lossy re-encode adds artefacts.
