How to convert AVI to MP4 online

01

Drop your AVI file

Select or drag in your AVI file. Processing is local — nothing is sent to a server.

02

Re-encode to H.264

FFmpeg converts the video to H.264 and audio to AAC — the universal standard for MP4 playback.

03

Download MP4

Click Download. The MP4 is typically 50–80% smaller than the original AVI and plays on any device.

Why convert AVI to MP4?

Much smaller file size

AVI files can be enormous. Converting to MP4 (H.264) typically cuts file size by 50–80% with no visible quality difference, making files faster to share and store.

Play on any device

AVI is not supported by iPhones, Android phones, or smart TVs without a third-party app. MP4 plays natively on everything.

Upload to any platform

YouTube, Vimeo, social media, and most CMSs require MP4. AVI uploads are frequently rejected or silently converted at lower quality.

Open in modern editors

MP4 is the default format for Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, and iMovie. AVI often causes import errors or requires a codec pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert AVI to MP4 online for free?

Drop your AVI file into the converter or click to browse. Conversion runs locally in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, no watermark. Click Download when done.

What is an AVI file?

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a legacy Microsoft format from 1992. Still produced by some older cameras and recorders, but not supported by modern phones, smart TVs, or streaming platforms.

Will I lose quality when converting AVI to MP4?

The converter re-encodes to H.264 + AAC, producing an excellent-looking result at a much smaller file size. For most practical uses the output is indistinguishable from the original.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device.

Why are AVI files so large?

AVI predates modern compression. Many files use old or uncompressed codecs. Converting to MP4 (H.264) typically reduces file size by 50–80% with no visible quality difference.
