Accepts .hevc, .h265, .265 files. You can queue several files; each is processed one after another on your own device.
Your files never leave this device — there is no upload and no server to delete them from.

Download your WMA
Press convert and wait for the row to finish. Convert several files and you can take them all as a single ZIP.
HEVC
High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265)H.264's successor, delivering comparable quality at roughly half the bitrate. Decoding runs locally like everything else; encoding it is not yet wired up as an in-browser option here, so it happens on the optional server worker instead.

WMA
Windows Media AudioMicrosoft's answer to MP3, bundled with Windows Media Player for a decade. Poorly supported outside Windows, so it is usually converted rather than kept.

- Lossy
- Both HEVC and WMA are lossy formats, so repeated conversions can accumulate rounding artifacts. Keep this to only what you need and avoid repeated round-trips.
- Only the audio track survives this conversion — the picture is discarded entirely.
Questions about converting HEVC to WMA
Is this HEVC to WMA converter free?
Yes. Converting HEVC to WMA here is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily quota. The work runs on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on to you.
Is my HEVC file uploaded anywhere?
For browser-based pairs, your file is read locally and converted by ffmpeg in this tab. No file payload is uploaded; you may still see analytics and engine downloads in network logs.
Is there a file-size limit for HEVC to WMA?
There is no imposed upload cap when it runs in-browser, but each conversion still depends on your device and browser memory. Large videos are the first practical limit, then memory-heavy documents or images.
Does converting HEVC to WMA lose quality?
WMA is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded when it is encoded. At the default quality setting the change is often not visually obvious; keep your original HEVC file if you might need it again.
Can I convert several HEVC files to WMA at once?
Yes. Drop in several files and each gets its own row; they are processed one after another on your device. You can download them one by one or as one ZIP.
Does HEVC to WMA work on a phone, Mac or Chromebook?
Most modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS work. Very large videos are often more reliable on desktop or a browser with more memory.
Why do some conversions take longer on first run?
The conversion engine has to download first. Small codec bundles are fast, while ffmpeg is commonly 12–30 MB; later conversions of similar type use the cached engine.
I converted a file and the output is blank or unusable. What should I check?
Start over with default settings, then change one option at a time (quality, bitrate, page size, or codec) to isolate what changed behavior. If it keeps failing, retry with a smaller file and confirm the source format matches the pair.
