Is my file uploaded when converting AVI to MP4?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device, there is no server to upload to, and the page works offline once loaded.

Yes, with no account, no watermark and no file limit per day. frogConvert is open source and there is no server cost to recover, because your device does the work.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 2 GB for a single file, 500 MB total per batch, and 300 files at once. The practical limit is your device's memory, since everything is processed locally.

Why convert AVI without uploading

Most online converters take your file, send it to their servers, convert it there and hand back a download link. That means your document sits on someone else's disk, subject to their retention policy and their breaches. It also means you cannot use them offline, and cannot use them at all for anything confidential.

frogConvert does the conversion in the page itself, with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. There is no upload step because there is no server. You can disconnect from the network and it still works.

About the formats

AVI

Microsoft's 1992 container, predating modern streaming and subtitle conventions. Still readable everywhere, but a poor home for anything encoded recently. More about AVI files.

MP4

The default video container almost everywhere, normally holding H.264 video and AAC audio. Its ubiquity, not its technical merit, is the reason to choose it. More about MP4 files.
