MKV to AVI converter
Turn MKV files into AVI for free. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your videos are never uploaded anywhere.
How to convert MKV to AVI
- Add your MKV files. Drop one or more .mkv files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first video you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the AVI. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a MKV file?
MKV (Matroska) is a flexible container that can hold any codec, several audio tracks and subtitles. It is popular for downloads and recordings.
What is AVI?
AVI is an old Microsoft video container from the 1990s, still found on old cameras and archives.
Why convert MKV to AVI?
MKV is great for holding many tracks and subtitles in one file, but phones, TVs, browsers and social networks often won't play MKV. AVI is the better choice for old Windows software; keep in mind large files and poor support on phones and the web.
Will I lose quality?
AVI uses lossy compression tuned so the difference is invisible at normal use. We use high-quality settings by default.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your videos never leave your phone or computer.
Questions
Is this MKV to AVI converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my MKV files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I convert MKV to AVI on iPhone or Android?
Yes, in a modern browser. Phones are slower than computers for video, and very long videos can run out of memory on older phones.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit, but your browser has to hold the whole file in memory, so files over about 2 GB may fail.
