How to Convert AVI to MP4 Online
AVI to MP4: what changes in the file
This tool takes a AVI file, processes it with FFmpeg on DownloadVideo.vn servers and returns a MP4 file.
Both AVI and MP4 are lossy, so converting adds another generation of compression: a small further loss that is usually hard to notice after one conversion.
How AVI and MP4 differ
| Property | AVI | MP4 |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Audio Video Interleave | MPEG-4 Part 14 |
| Introduced | Microsoft, 1992 | ISO/IEC MPEG, 2003 |
| Compression | lossy | lossy |
| Common codecs | MPEG-4 Part 2 (DivX/Xvid), MJPEG, MP3 | H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, AAC |
| Strengths | opens in almost every desktop player and older editing software | plays on virtually every phone, browser, TV and editor; standard upload format for YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram |
| Limitations | old design: large files for the same quality; no native playback in web browsers or most phones | lossy codecs: every re-encode loses a little quality |
Measured with a sample file
On September 25, 2026 we ran the tool on our production server with a sample file: a 10-second 1280×720 video (MPEG-4 Part 2 + MP3), 9.2 MB.
Result: 9.2 MB → 3.5 MB, processed in 9.1 s. Output: H.264 video at 1280×720, AAC audio at 44.1 kHz stereo, 128 kbps.
Real sizes depend on your content (how complex the picture and sound are, and the length); the figures only show the order of change.
Before you convert
- The tool always re-encodes the picture and sound, even when the source codec would already fit the target format.
- Up to 500 MB per file; a conversion that runs longer than 10 minutes is cancelled.
- The file is sent to our server for conversion and deleted as soon as processing ends, including when it fails.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting AVI to MP4 reduce quality?
Slightly: it is a second round of lossy compression. One conversion is usually hard to notice, but repeated conversions add up.
How does the file size change from AVI to MP4?
With our sample file: 9.2 MB → 3.5 MB. Your file may differ depending on its content.
