About AVI
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a container format Microsoft introduced in 1992 for video on Windows.
Older cameras, Windows software and video collections from the 1990s and 2000s.
AVI predates modern codecs and has no native support for features such as variable frame rate, so it is rarely used for new video.
Convert AVI to JPEG online free, no account required — JPEG is the universal lossy photo format.
Change AVI to JPEG without losing quality — convert AVI to JPEG free in your browser.
Why is my AVI file so much bigger than modern video? The container predates efficient codecs like H.264, so an hour of video can take many gigabytes that an MP4 would store in a fraction of the space.
About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
