En Latinoamérica, la transición a formatos más modernos no siempre ha sido uniforme, y el IMA aún se encuentra en uso en algunos sistemas PBX y equipos de audio profesional de generaciones anteriores.

About WMA to IMA Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert WMA to IMA online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .wma file to CocoConvert, pick IMA as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft's audio codec — less common today but still found in legacy collections. IMA is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your WMA file is decoded and re-encoded as IMA. Converting WMA to IMA maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
