How AVI Handles WMA Data
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the AVI Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in AVI Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality WMA Audio input produces an excellent AVI Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. WMA Audio encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. AVI Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Converting WMA Audio audio to AVI Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.
The WMA to AVI conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. WMA Pro supports up to 7.1 surround sound

WMA to AVI Conversion: Your Questions Answered
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼
Free users can convert several files per batch. PRO users enjoy unlimited batch sizes. For very large batches, your device's memory is the only practical limit.
Why choose AVI over other formats?▼
AVI Video offers simple structure compatible with nearly every video player. It's widely used for legacy Windows video, raw camera footage and lossless video capture, making it an excellent choice for most video needs.
Will my WMA file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original WMA file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate AVI copy — your source file remains untouched.
What audio quality settings should I use?▼
For music, use 256 kbps or higher. For voice/podcast, 128 kbps is sufficient. Lossless output preserves everything.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original WMA file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new AVI copy is created.
What if my WMA file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
