What changes
AVI files normally carry MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio, which MP4 accepts as they are, so the converter copies the tracks untouched: in seconds and with no loss. If not, or if you change the quality, size, scale or trim, the video is decoded and compressed again, and loses a little more detail.
If it’s copied, it’s about the same size as the AVI: only the container changes. If it’s re-encoded, the size stays about the same.
When it’s worth it
Choose MP4 for: Phones, websites, social networks, and TV. Small files for the quality, usually with H.264 or H.265 inside.
Stay with AVI for: Legacy Windows video files.

Questions
Does converting AVI to MP4 lose quality?
Usually not. With the default settings the tracks are copied without re-encoding. Quality only drops if you change the quality, size or trim, or if the file uses a codec MP4 doesn’t accept.
What is the MP4 format?
A container that holds a video track, one or more audio tracks and metadata, and nothing else: which codec sits inside is a separate question. H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio is the combination almost everyone means by MP4.
What is the AVI format?
Audio Video Interleaved, Microsoft's video container from the nineties and still one of the most common files around. It’s a simple wrapper, so whatever codec is inside can be old and heavy, and it was never designed for streaming.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
