Why convert AVI to MOV?
Bringing an old AVI into iMovie, Final Cut Pro or another Apple app? Converting to MOV wraps it in Apple's native container so it imports cleanly, with none of the compatibility issues AVI causes on macOS.
AVI vs MOV at a glance
AVI is Microsoft's original video container from 1992 — still common in older recordings, but large and not supported by browsers or modern streaming. MOV is Apple's native video container — high quality from iOS and macOS apps, but rarely supported outside the Apple ecosystem.

AVI to MOV — frequently asked questions
Is this AVI to MOV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will I lose quality converting to MOV?
MOV uses lossy compression, so the image is re-encoded at high quality (92%). For photos the difference is practically invisible; for text-heavy graphics or logos, a lossless format like PNG preserves sharp edges better.
Is the conversion private?
Video conversion runs on our servers with ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately and never stored.
