What happens to your file
MOV files are common for Apple devices, Final Cut Pro and iMovie projects, but not every app or device opens them. AVI is the better choice for old DVD players, legacy software, archived home videos. All-in-One Saver converts MOV to AVI with FFmpeg — real decoding and encoding, not a renamed file extension.
A real re-encode. MOV usually contains H.264, HEVC or ProRes video with AAC audio, which AVI players can't decode, so All-in-One Saver re-encodes to MPEG-4 Part 2 (Xvid-compatible) video and MP3 audio. "Balanced" is visually indistinguishable from the source for most videos; "High" uses a lower CRF for archiving; "Smaller file" trades a little sharpness for a much smaller file.
Settings
- Quality — High, Balanced, Smaller file. Balanced keeps the original streams when possible (no quality loss, very fast).
- Resolution — Same as source, 4K (2160p), 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p
- Audio bitrate — Auto · keep original if possible, 320 kbps · best, 256 kbps, 192 kbps · standard, 128 kbps · small, 96 kbps, 64 kbps · voice

FAQ
Will converting MOV to AVI reduce quality?
A small amount, because the video has to be re-encoded. With the default "Balanced" setting (H.264 CRF 23) the difference is not visible for most videos; choose "High" to minimize it.
How long does it take?
Re-encoding runs at roughly real-time or faster for 1080p video. You'll see live progress and the time remaining.
Can I convert several MOV files at once?
Yes. Drop up to 10 files at a time — each one is converted in parallel and you can download them individually or all at once.
Is there a file size limit?
Convert and edit files on your device. The browser edition accepts up to 100 MB total, media up to 10 minutes and video up to 4K. Codec availability and device memory can limit individual jobs.
Is this MOV to AVI converter free and safe?
Yes. There are no pop-ups, redirects or fake download buttons, and no software to install. Files are transferred over HTTPS, processed in isolated job folders and deleted automatically.
