AVI not uploading? Here's the 1-minute fix.

Browsers can't decode every AVI codec (DivX, Xvid, MJPEG…). Re-save your AVI as MP4 first — it takes 30 seconds:

  1. Open the AVI in VLC (free, all platforms)
  2. Media → Convert / Save → Profile: Video — H.264 + MP3 (MP4)
  3. Save the .mp4 file, then drop it below ↓

How to convert AVI to GIF — 3 steps

  1. Drop your AVI file into the uploader above (or click to browse).
  2. Trim to the 2–10 second clip you want. Pick frame rate and output width.
  3. Click Convert AVI to GIF — your browser does the rest.

If your AVI uses an older codec your browser can't decode, the fix takes 30 seconds — see the yellow box above the uploader.

Why AVI files are common (and hard to share)

AVI is the default output for many old cameras, screen recorders, and Windows tools — but most social platforms, email clients, and modern browsers won't play it. Converting to GIF makes the clip playable everywhere without a video player.

Best AVI to GIF settings for old footage

24fps source → 10fps output keeps motion smooth at half the file size. 480px width is the sweet spot for sharing. Trim to under 10 seconds and your GIF will stay under 5MB — small enough for Discord, Slack, and email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my AVI file upload?▼
AVI is a "container" that can hold many different codecs (DivX, Xvid, MJPEG, etc.). Most browsers can't decode the older codecs. Re-save the AVI as MP4 in VLC (free) — Media → Convert/Save → Profile "Video — H.264 + MP3 (MP4)". Then drop the .mp4 file here. It works every time.
What is an AVI file?▼
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a classic Microsoft video format from the 1990s. Still common in old cameras, screen recorders, and Windows software like Bandicam and Camtasia.
Is AVI to GIF conversion free?▼
Yes. Always free, no account, no watermark, no signup. Up to 100MB per file.
Why are my AVI files so large?▼
AVI is uncompressed or lightly compressed. Converting to GIF actually shrinks the file size for short clips — perfect for sharing.
Can I convert old AVI home videos to GIF?▼
Yes. Trim to a funny or memorable moment (5–10 seconds works best), set output width to 480px and 10fps, and download a GIF you can text or post.
Best AVI to GIF settings?▼
Older footage at 24fps → convert at 10fps. Set output width to 480px. Trim to under 10 seconds. This keeps GIF file size under 5MB so it plays everywhere.
