Compress AVI

Old AVI recordings from camcorders and PCs are often very large. This tool compresses them and keeps the AVI format, so they still play on DVD players, older TVs and legacy software.

The result uses Xvid-compatible MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio, the most widely supported combination for AVI players.

How to compress an AVI video

1. Upload your AVI file.
2. Pick a compression level and, if you like, a lower resolution.
3. Click Convert and download the compressed AVI.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to get the smallest file?

Convert with AVI to MP4 instead. Modern H.264 video in MP4 is much more efficient than the codecs AVI players support.

Will my DVD player still play the file?

Yes, the compressed file uses Xvid-compatible video, which AVI-capable DVD players support. Choose 480p for the best compatibility.

Does the sound stay the same?

The sound is converted to MP3, which is fine for normal listening.

How big can the AVI be?

Up to 500 MB.
