How do I convert WMV to MOV?

Add your WMV file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The MOV file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to MOV reduce quality?

MOV uses lossy compression, so some data is discarded. At the default quality the difference is very hard to see or hear; raise the quality setting if you need to be certain, at the cost of a larger file.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 512 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

WMV and MOV explained

WMV is Microsoft's Windows Media video container, tied to Windows Media Player and rarely supported elsewhere.

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. Structurally it is very close to MP4 — the two share an ancestor — but MOV files often use codecs like ProRes that general-purpose players cannot decode.

Where WMV files come from: Old Windows recordings, corporate training videos and PowerPoint exports.
Where MOV is used: iPhone and Mac screen recordings, and professional video editing.

WMV vs MOV

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

WMV compared with MOV
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Container (depends on codec)	Container (depends on codec)
Animation	Yes	Yes
Introduced	1999	1991
Browser support	Windows only, and shrinking.	Excellent on Apple, patchy on Windows and Android.

WMV is stronger at: Decent compression for its era. Integrated with older Windows tooling.
MOV is stronger at: Excellent on Apple platforms. Supports high-quality editing codecs such as ProRes. Handles alpha channels for compositing.

Why convert WMV to MOV?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of WMV: sharing with anyone not on Windows. MOV is the better fit when you are editing on a Mac or working in a professional post-production pipeline.

WMV limitations that prompt the switch: Windows-only in practice. No browser support. Some files carry DRM that blocks conversion.
What you give up: Windows and Android support is inconsistent. Browsers generally will not play it.

Does converting WMV to MOV reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
