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 PNG online free, no account required — PNG is a lossless image format with transparency.
Change AVI to PNG without losing quality — convert AVI to PNG 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 PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
