About this tool
AI is the Adobe Illustrator format; since Illustrator 9 an AI file carries a PDF version of the artwork inside. WMF (Windows Metafile) is the older 16-bit Windows vector format, still used for clip art.
This converter turns your AI file into WMF, the right choice for old Office versions and programs that only accept WMF. Shapes, colours and text are kept as vectors, so the WMF file stays sharp when you scale it in Office and other programs. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.
Drawings are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 6 hours unless you delete it sooner.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert AI to WMF?
Choose or drop your AI file, keep WMF as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts the file and shows the progress; then you download the WMF file.
Can I convert several AI files at once?
Yes. Add up to 10 files at a time. Each gets its own background job with its own progress, and you can download each result as soon as it is finished.
How large can the file be?
Each file can be up to 100 MB.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the WMF file is kept for 6 hours so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.
Is the AI to WMF converter free?
Yes. It is free, without sign-up and without a watermark.
Can I insert the WMF file into Word or PowerPoint?
Yes. Insert it as a picture and it stays sharp at any size. Gradients and transparency may be simplified, because WMF describes them more simply than modern drawing programs.
Which Illustrator files can be opened?
Every AI file saved with “Create PDF Compatible File” (the default since Illustrator 9), and old PostScript-based AI files. A file saved without the PDF part can only be opened by Illustrator itself – save it again with that option turned on.
