How to Convert FAT to WIM

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your FAT file or drag & drop it.

Locate your FAT file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select WIM as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose WIM based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted WIM file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your WIM file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is FAT (File Allocation Table)?

FAT (File Allocation Table) is a file system format used to organize data on storage devices like hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards. It is one of the oldest and most widely used file systems, originally designed by Microsoft for floppy disks.

FAT is known for its simplicity and compatibility across a wide range of devices, but it lacks some of the advanced features of modern file systems like NTFS or ext4. Variants like FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT are commonly used in different devices and operating systems.

How to open FAT?

FAT file systems can be read and written to by most operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Devices such as cameras, USB drives, and other portable storage typically use FAT-formatted drives for easy compatibility.

On Windows, FAT file systems are recognized automatically and can be accessed like any other drive. On macOS and Linux, they can be mounted directly without requiring additional software.

How to convert FAT?

Converting FAT-formatted drives to other file systems like NTFS or exFAT can be done through the operating system's disk management tools.

For Windows, you can use Disk Management or command-line tools like 'format'. macOS users can use Disk Utility to reformat drives. Be sure to back up your data before reformatting any storage device.

What is WIM (Windows Imaging Format)?

WIM (Windows Imaging Format) is a file-based disk image format developed by Microsoft for deploying Windows operating systems. It is used to store and distribute system images, including the operating system, applications, and settings.

WIM files are commonly used in enterprise environments for system deployment, recovery, and backup purposes. They support compression, single-instance storage, and can be mounted as virtual drives.

How to open WIM?

WIM files can be opened and managed using Microsoft's Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool (DISM) or third-party tools like 7-Zip.

For mounting WIM files as virtual drives, you can use the `Mount-WindowsImage` PowerShell command or tools like GImageX.

How to convert WIM?
