Frequently Asked Questions

AVI is an older video format created by Microsoft in the early 1990s. It adopts minimal compression, which makes the files very large and often incompatible with modern players, phones, or online platforms. In contrast, MP4 is more universally supported. They are smaller in size, easier to share, and playable on most devices and browsers.

AVI is an out-of-date container format that stores video and audio data with a little compression. Compared to MP4 (developed for efficiency), AVI files are usually very large and cannot be shared easily.

Yes, you can freely convert AVI videos to MP4 for free in your browser. There is no software to install and no account required for simple conversions.

Yes! Many older AVI files use the DivX or Xvid codecs. They were common in the early 2000s, but are no longer widely supported nowadays. AhaConvert automatically detects these older codecs and re-encodes the video into H.264 or H.265 inside an MP4 container. The resulting file (ending with .mp4) will play smoothly on modern devices, TVs, and editing software without installing special codec packs.

Some AVI files store a non-square pixel aspect ratio, which newer formats like MP4 interpret differently. When this occurs, the converted MP4 video may appear too wide or too tall. To fix it, check the original resolution and aspect ratio of your AVI file before conversion and then select the same values (for example, 16:9 or 4:3) in the converter settings if available. AhaConvert usually maintains the correct proportions automatically, but mismatched aspect settings can cause stretching.

Yes, particularly with modern editing software. Most video editors, including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, iMovie, and Final Cut Pro, are optimized for MP4. AVI relies on older encoding methods that may not be hardware-accelerated and can lead to slow playback or rendering. Converting AVI to MP4 ensures smoother editing performance, faster previews, and easier exporting across platforms.
