Make WMV Video Files Smaller
Are you looking for a video shrinking tool? Do you want to reduce the size of your videos so you can send them on messenger or email, or post them on social media? Use VEED’s WMV compressor to make your videos smaller. VEED is also a video converter so you can convert your videos to MP4 - making them easier to upload and share. MP4 is the recommended format when uploading to YouTube and it is the most compatible with media players like VLC and more.
How to Make WMV Files Smaller:
Step 01
Select your WMV video file and upload
Open the folder where your video is stored and drag & drop it into the box. Or click on Upload and select your WMV video after clicking on Choose WMV File.
Step 02
Compress your video
Set your compression options and click on Compress. As an optional step, you can use VEED’s online video editor to make changes to your video. Crop, rotate, add text and subtitles, and more.
Step 03
Click on Export
Before exporting, you will see your video’s new estimated file size. You can still change this by adjusting your compression settings. When you’re satisfied with the size, click on Export and your video will be downloaded to your device.

FAQ
- Choose your video and upload it to VEED 2. Adjust your compression settings 3. Click on Export 4. Share
Windows Media Video (WMV) is the default video format for Windows PC, and is larger than MP4 because it can contain large audio and video files. It was developed by Microsoft in 2006, designed for Windows computers and Windows Media Player. It is also not a widely-supported video file type unlike MP4. It is best to convert your WMV files to MP4 by using VEED’s video converter.
VEED automatically converts your WMV files to MP4 when you compress your WMV videos.
By default, you should be able to play your WMV videos on VLC. However, you may encounter problems such as getting a “missing codec” error. Several users have reported this issue time and time again. MP4 is still the best format since it is supported by all media players.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
