Simplest way to confirm your videos never leave this device:

Disconnect from the internet.

Turn off your Wi-Fi → conversion keeps working. The banner up top turns green.

Note: the conversion engine (ffmpeg.wasm, ~30 MB) downloads once on first use, then runs entirely on your computer. After that first download, you can be fully offline.

Why convert in your browser?

🔒

Your video never leaves your computer

Conversion runs locally via ffmpeg.wasm — the same engine VLC and YouTube use. Open the network tab. Zero uploads.

⚡

Lossless remux when possible

If your AVI file already contains H.264 video, we just rewrap it into an MP4 container — no re-encoding, no quality loss, near-instant.

🎬

Modernize legacy footage

Old camcorder and screen-capture AVI files often contain DivX, Xvid, or MJPEG. We transcode to H.264 + AAC so the result plays in every modern app.

🚫

No watermark, no signup, no caps

CloudConvert caps free users at 10 conversions/day. Zamzar limits at 50 MB. VEED watermarks. We don't do any of that.

📦

No file size limit

Drop a 4 GB drone clip if you want. The only limit is your device's available memory — there's no upload step to choke on.

🌐

Works offline after first visit

The engine downloads once, then runs forever. Turn off Wi-Fi to verify — conversion keeps working.

Common questions

Why is my .avi file rejected by modern apps?

AVI is a 1992 Microsoft container format that predates streaming, captions, and modern codec features. Most modern video apps (iMovie, Premiere mobile, social uploaders) reject it because they can't reliably index its variable bit rate streams. Converting to MP4 — with the same H.264 video stream copied verbatim, if possible — fixes compatibility without re-encoding.

How long does conversion take?

If your source already contains H.264 (older iPhones, most QuickTime recordings), conversion is a fast remux — usually under a second. For HEVC sources requiring transcode, expect 10–60 seconds per minute of footage depending on resolution and CPU.

Does my video get uploaded to your server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Disconnect from Wi-Fi after the page loads to verify — the converter keeps working.

Is there a watermark or file-size limit?

Neither. Plain .mp4 output. No backend means no caps — the only limit is your device's available memory.

Will I lose quality?

If the source is H.264, we remux (copy the video stream into MP4 without re-encoding) — 100% lossless. For HEVC and other codecs, we transcode at CRF 18 by default, which is visually lossless for nearly all viewers.

Turn off your Wi-Fi. It still works.

That's how you know nothing leaves your computer.

CloudConvert, Zamzar, FreeConvert, VEED — they all send your video to a server. We don't. Conversion runs on your CPU, in your browser, via the same ffmpeg engine VLC and YouTube use.
