Accepts .wmv 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.

How to
  1. 01

    Add your WMV files

    Drop them onto the box above or click to browse. They are read straight from disk — nothing is sent anywhere.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    3GP is already selected. Open the gear icon on any row if you want to change quality, dimensions or codec before converting.

  3. 03

    Download your 3GP

    Press convert and wait for the row to finish. Convert several files and you can take them all as a single ZIP.

WMV

Windows Media Video

Microsoft's proprietary format from the Windows Media era. Outside Windows it is awkward to play, so in practice it is far more often a source to convert away from than a target.

Worth knowing before you convert

FAQ

Questions about converting WMV to 3GP

Is this WMV to 3GP converter free?

Yes. Converting WMV to 3GP 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 WMV 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 WMV to 3GP?

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 WMV to 3GP lose quality?

3GP 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 WMV file if you might need it again.

Can I convert several WMV files to 3GP 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 WMV to 3GP 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.
