Batch Processing

Handle multiple WMZ files in a single session. Every file converts to MNG independently for organized output.

Quality Output

Professional-grade MNG output from WMZ source data. The converter optimizes for the target format strengths.

Cloud-Powered Processing

All the heavy lifting runs on Convertio infrastructure. Your device just sends the WMZ and receives the MNG result.

About formats

WMZ is a compressed variant of the Windows Metafile (WMF) format, introduced by Microsoft with Office 2000 in 1999. A WMZ file is simply a WMF file compressed using the gzip algorithm (RFC 1952), reducing the file size for more efficient storage and embedding within Office documents, web pages, and other containers. The underlying WMF format stores vector graphics as a sequence of GDI (Graphics Device Interface) function calls — commands that draw lines, curves, polygons, text, and bitmaps — recorded in a device-independent format that can be replayed at any resolution. WMZ preserves this vector nature: when decompressed, the file produces a standard WMF that renders through the Windows GDI subsystem using the same drawing primitives as on-screen display, ensuring visual fidelity across different output devices and resolutions. WMZ files are commonly found embedded in Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), HTML email messages generated by Outlook, and web content produced by Office's Save as Web Page feature. The format is also used for clip art and template graphics distributed with Office installations. One advantage is space efficiency: gzip compression typically reduces WMF file sizes by 60-80%, meaningful when many small graphics are embedded in a single document or web page. The format's deep integration with the Microsoft Office ecosystem is another practical strength — WMZ graphics render natively in all Office applications without additional software, and can be extracted, decompressed, and converted using tools like LibreOffice, ImageMagick, Inkscape, and standard gzip utilities.
Developer: Microsoft
Initial release: 1999
MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is an animation and multiple-image format designed as the animated counterpart to PNG, with its specification reaching version 1.0 on January 31, 2001. Developed by Glenn Randers-Pehrson and members of the PNG development community, MNG extends PNG's capabilities with support for frame-based animation sequences, slide shows, complex sprite overlays, and JNG (JPEG Network Graphics) frames for lossy compression of photographic content within the same container. An MNG file consists of a series of chunks (following PNG's chunk-based architecture): MHDR and MEND chunks bookend the datastream, with embedded PNG or JNG images as individual frames and control chunks (DEFI, FRAM, LOOP, ENDL, TERM, BACK, BASI, CLON, PAST, DISC, SHOW) directing playback timing, looping behavior, layer compositing, and memory management. The format supports both full-frame replacement and delta (difference) updates for efficient encoding of animations with static backgrounds, as well as object-based animation where sprites are defined once and repositioned across frames. One advantage is technical sophistication: MNG provides a level of animation control that GIF and APNG cannot match — frame-accurate timing, nested loops, conditional branches, interframe compression, and mixed lossy/lossless content within a single animation. The PNG-based foundation ensures lossless quality with full alpha transparency for each frame. MNG is supported by ImageMagick, GIMP, and various media players, though browser support was limited, which led to APNG's emergence as a simpler alternative for web animation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WMZ to MNG?

Transform specialized WMZ data into MNG so colleagues and clients can view it without niche software.

How do I open MNG files?

Open MNG files with Konqueror, GIMP, specialized viewers. Most operating systems handle MNG natively or with built-in viewers.

Is WMZ to MNG conversion accurate?

Convertio preserves the visual content from your WMZ data during conversion — the MNG output faithfully represents the source.

What quality can I expect from MNG output?

Quality depends on the source data, but MNG format provides PNG-based animation format for excellent results.

What platforms support this conversion?

Any device with a web browser can run this conversion. Desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone — all supported equally.

Do I need to install anything?

Zero installs needed. Open Convertio in any browser, upload WMZ, and download MNG — that simple.
