About AVI

Audio Video Interleave

The classic Windows video format

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) was introduced by Microsoft in 1992 and was the standard for DivX and Xvid videos for many years.

Strengths
Plays on old DVD players, TVs and Windows software.
Limitations
Large files, no modern codecs, and poor support on phones and websites.

About GIF

Graphics Interchange Format

Animated images

GIF is an image format that supports short, silent, looping animations with up to 256 colors, popular in chats and social media.

Strengths
Plays automatically everywhere, without a video player.

Huge files compared with video, no sound and only 256 colors.

Why PixNudge

Your videos stay private

Family clips, screen recordings and work videos never leave your device. There is no server copy to leak or delete.

Free, no watermark

No account, no watermark, no daily limits and no waiting queue. Only your device's memory sets the limit.

Fast when possible

When the streams already fit the target format they are copied without re-encoding: done in seconds with zero quality loss.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert AVI to GIF?

Add your AVI file to the tool above. GIF is already selected, so processing starts with the right settings. When it is done, click Download.

Will converting AVI to GIF reduce the quality?

GIF only supports 256 colors, so PixNudge creates an optimized palette for each clip with smooth dithering. Choose a higher frame rate and width for more detail, or lower them for a smaller file.

Is my AVI video uploaded anywhere?

No. The AVI to GIF conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.

How long does converting AVI to GIF take?

If the streams can be copied, a few seconds. If the video has to be re-encoded, roughly one to three minutes per minute of 720p video on a computer, and longer on phones.
