About the AVI to MP4 Converter

AVI dates from 1992 and it shows: enormous files, ageing codecs like DivX and Xvid, no support for modern features, and a flat refusal from most phones, smart TVs and web platforms. Old family video and downloaded clips from a decade ago are still full of them.

The conversion runs in your browser through ffmpeg.wasm — the real ffmpeg, compiled to WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded: a wedding video, a client recording or an unreleased track never leaves your machine. The engine is a one-off download of about 32 MB, after which your browser caches it and every later conversion starts immediately.

Converting to H.264 in an MP4 usually shrinks the file dramatically — the same footage in a modern codec at a fraction of the size — and makes it playable on everything again. Choose the quality and encoding speed, scale down, change the frame rate, trim to a section or drop the audio.
