About AVI and MP4

AVI is an older Microsoft video container. Files tend to be large and modern devices and websites often do not support it well.

MP4 is the most widely supported video container. It usually holds H.264 video with AAC audio and plays on phones, TVs, editing software, social platforms and every major browser.

When to convert AVI to MP4

Convert to shrink old AVI files and make them play on current phones, TVs and editors.

Tip

MP4 files are usually much smaller than AVI at similar quality.

AVI to MP4: frequently asked questions

Are all AVI files supported?

Most are. AVI can hold many different codecs, and a few rare ones may not convert in the browser.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no price, no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own computer. Your video never leaves your device.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to about 1 GB work well. Very large files depend on your computer's memory and can be slow.

Why does the first conversion take longer?

The first time, your browser downloads the converter (about 30 MB). It is cached after that.
