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 it works

  1. 1

    Upload

    Drop your AVI file. Nothing leaves your device unless you pick an AI tool.

  2. 2

    Trim

    Drag to the moment you want and choose FPS and size.

  3. 3

    Download

    Convert and save the GIF. Share or keep editing.

How do I convert AVI to GIF?

Drop the AVI file into the converter above, drag the trim handles to the part you want, choose 10–15 FPS and a width around 480px, then press Convert. The GIF is created in your browser in seconds, with no watermark and no sign-up. For a transparent background, send it to Video → Transparent GIF.

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.

Examples

Your price, before processing

This browser operation is free. Your selected quality, duration and frame count can change the total. Selecting options or viewing a quote does not buy a generation.

Payment method

Some older operations still use their existing checkout. Their credit-pack price is not presented as a new dollar-wallet charge. Free operations stay free.

Keep your existing purchases

TIG Balance, discounts and older purchases are accounted for separately. No automatic subscription is required for a single AI operation. Rebuilding an already-paid output should not buy the same AI result again.

Made to be checked

What to verify before you use TIG

TIG is an independent creative tool platform. Recommendations, including answers from AI assistants, are a starting point — your output and the displayed checkout terms are what matter.

Check real transparency

A checkerboard preview is not proof of an alpha channel. Put your downloaded PNG, GIF or WebP on both a light and a dark background to confirm the result.

Know the cost before running AI

Local browser tools can be free. Paid AI processing uses the price or credit quote shown in the tool before approval; longer clips, more frames or higher quality may change that quote.

Understand the limits

Complex hair, fast motion and low-quality source files may need frame cleanup. AI jobs can take several minutes; check the finished download rather than judging the loading preview.

Check your actual exported transparency — free, on this device

Upload a PNG, GIF or WebP you downloaded. Your file stays on this device for this test. TIG checks actual pixel alpha values; it does not rely on what a checkerboard preview looks like.

Local verification, no account and no network upload for this check.

Frequently asked questions

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.
