Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, and DPI information transfer directly between formats. When converting from Adobe Illustrator to WMV Video, some quality trade-off occurs due to lossy compression, but Xonvert uses optimal settings to minimize any visible degradation. Adobe Illustrator retains all original data. Converting to WMV Video applies its own compression algorithm, which may introduce minor artifacts at very low quality settings. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format.
Converting a static Adobe Illustrator image to WMV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless AI source retains all original data. Converting to lossy WMV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
