Frequently asked questions
Is converting GIF to WMA free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my GIF pictures uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because making video and audio needs ffmpeg, which is too large to run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion.
How large can the GIF file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Can I change the size or quality of the WMA?
Yes. Click Options next to the file to set a width and height, choose a quality, remove metadata and more. Only the settings that make sense for GIF to WMA are shown.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
