Free online PKPASS to MSWALLET converter

Source format: pkpass

PKPASS is the file format used by Apple Wallet for boarding passes, event tickets, coupons, loyalty cards, and similar passes. A .pkpass file is usually a ZIP-based, signed package that contains pass data, images, and metadata such as pass.json.

Target format: mswallet

MSWALLET is a Microsoft Wallet pass format name sometimes used for wallet-style files associated with Microsoft’s pass ecosystem. In practice, support for Microsoft Wallet has been limited and has varied by device, app, and Windows version. Because of that, a .pkpass file cannot usually be converted by simply renaming it to .mswallet.

How the conversion works

There is no universal one-click conversion that preserves every Apple Wallet feature in a Microsoft Wallet file. PKPASS and Microsoft wallet passes are different ecosystems, so conversion usually means recreating the pass using the same underlying data rather than translating the file byte-for-byte.

1. Check whether the issuer supports Microsoft Wallet. If the airline, venue, retailer, or service provider offers a Microsoft Wallet version, use that official download or export option. This is the most reliable method.
2. Inspect the PKPASS package. A .pkpass file can be opened with archive software because it is ZIP-based. You can rename it to .zip or open it directly to view files such as pass.json, images, and signature files.
3. Reuse the pass data. If you are creating the pass yourself, copy the relevant text, barcode data, dates, and images into a Microsoft-compatible pass workflow or backend system. Many organizations generate wallet passes from their own systems instead of converting finished files.
4. Use the built-in converter on 101convert.com if you want a free online attempt without installing software. Upload the .pkpass file and follow the on-screen steps. Keep in mind that results depend on whether the target format is supported for your specific file and whether the pass content can be mapped correctly.
5. Test the output. Open the resulting file in the intended Microsoft Wallet app or supported device and verify the barcode, layout, and pass details.

Important limitations

Editing a PKPASS file usually breaks its signature, so manual changes inside the package generally make the file invalid unless it is re-signed by the issuer or regenerated from source data. Apple Wallet passes also use layout rules and metadata that do not always map cleanly to Microsoft wallet formats.

For that reason, the best outcome is often re-issuing the pass in the target wallet format rather than trying to convert an existing file directly. If the pass is from a third party, ask the issuer for a Microsoft-compatible version.

Also note that Microsoft Wallet support is not universal and may be unavailable on some current devices or platforms. Before relying on any converted pass for travel, admission, or other time-sensitive use, confirm that the target app or device still accepts that pass type.

Desktop tools that can help

If you are working locally, archive managers, text editors, and wallet-pass generation libraries can help you inspect and rebuild the content. These tools are useful for understanding the pass structure, but they do not guarantee a direct PKPASS-to-MSWALLET conversion.
