How to convert MP4 to WMA

Three steps to a file Windows Media Player opens by default

1. Upload your video1

1. Upload your video

Drag an MP4 onto the page or click “Upload”. MOV, AVI, MKV and WMV go through the same converter. Up to 1 GB per file.

2. Pick a bitrate2

2. Pick a bitrate

WMA is pre-selected. 128 kbps is enough for speech and background music. Go to 192 kbps or higher for music, because the audio here is re-encoded rather than copied.

3. Download and play it on Windows3

3. Download and play it on Windows

Windows Media Player, the Media Player app in Windows 11, Xbox and most car stereos built before the mid-2010s open the file with no codec pack installed.

Built for Windows hardware

WMA is Microsoft's own codec, so Windows Media Player, Xbox consoles and a whole generation of car stereos read it with nothing installed. On a work PC where you cannot install a codec pack, that is the difference between playing the file and not.

WMA selected as the output format for an MP4 file

Apple hardware is the exception

Neither macOS nor iOS plays WMA on its own. VLC covers it on a Mac, and on an iPhone you need a third-party player too. If the file is going to Apple hardware, take M4A or MP3 from the same format list instead.

FAQ

Usually because something at the other end takes nothing else: an old car stereo, a Windows Media Player library, a dictation system at work. On current hardware, MP3 or M4A is the better choice.
