File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. XPM Pixmap preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.

Extracting an image from WMV Video video produces a single frame snapshot in XPM Pixmap format. This is ideal for creating thumbnails, capturing specific moments from footage, or generating preview images for video content. Xonvert extracts the first frame at its original resolution.

Important: Converting from lossy WMV to lossless XPM does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original WMV encoding cannot be recovered.
