About WMV to ASF Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert WMV to ASF online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .wmv file to CocoConvert, pick ASF as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft's proprietary format, common in older Windows ecosystems. ASF is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your WMV file is decoded and re-encoded as ASF. Converting WMV to ASF 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.
