Convert ASX files online for free
The converter easily converts your ASX file to various formats - free and online. No VLC or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Video formats to ASX with high quality output.
An .ASX file is an Advanced Stream Redirector metafile, essentially an XML-based shortcut used by Microsoft Windows Media Player to manage playlists and stream multimedia content. Instead of containing actual audio or video data, the file stores URLs pointing to media sources (typically ASF, WMA, or WMV files) located on a server.
Because .ASX files are merely signposts rather than content containers, users often face significant friction: the file cannot be played offline, it fails if the source server is offline, and it enjoys limited support on non-Windows platforms like macOS or mobile devices. To improve compatibility with modern players like VLC media player, users should convert the playlist structure to standard formats like M3U or PLS. For archiving purposes, users cannot 'convert' the ASX directly to video; they must instead use stream-recording software to download the linked content as MP4 or MP3 files. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to parse the playlist and determine your best conversion options.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your ASX file.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ASX converter.
