About WM files
WM files, encompassing Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) formats, are proprietary formats developed by Microsoft. These formats are commonly used for streaming audio and video on Windows platforms. While they offer good quality at smaller file sizes, their compatibility issues across different platforms and devices can be a drawback.
Converting WM files to more universally accepted formats is often necessary. Common conversion targets include:
- WMA to MP3 for broader audio compatibility.
- WMV to MP4 for better video platform support.
- WMV to AVI for editing purposes.
- WMA to WAV for lossless audio quality.
For conversions, software options like VLC Media Player and HandBrake can be useful. These applications are free to use and offer a range of conversion settings. For audio conversions, Audacity can be an invaluable tool.
However, converting WM files can present challenges like potential quality loss, especially if the original file is heavily compressed. Moreover, DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection on some WM files can complicate conversions.
Despite these challenges, converting WM files is often necessary for compatibility and usability. This is where Convert.Guru can simplify the process. By using the drag-and-drop feature to upload your WM files to the site, you can quickly and easily convert them to your desired format without the hassle of software installations.

The WM Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best WM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
