Frequently asked questions

How long does AVI to MP4 take?

It depends on the codecs inside your file. When they're compatible with MP4, the conversion is a near-instant repackage with no quality loss. When they're not, the video is re-encoded in your browser, which takes roughly the video's length. The tool shows you which case applies before you start.

Will the quality change?

If the video needs re-encoding, a small quality loss is unavoidable, but the converter uses a high-quality setting that is visually indistinguishable for most footage. Compatible streams are copied without any loss.

Why do most AVI files need re-encoding?

AVI is a 1990s container that usually holds older codecs (DivX, Xvid, MJPEG) that MP4 does not accept, so the video is re-encoded to H.264. The occasional AVI with H.264 inside converts instantly.

Is it really free?

Yes. The converter is completely free, with no signup, watermarks, or limits. We make money from our video translation service, not from this tool.

Do you upload my files?

No. The conversion happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
