1Upload the AVI videos you want resized — work from the largest original you have rather than from a copy you already shrank once.
2Type a target width, a target height or a percentage, and leave the aspect-ratio lock on unless you deliberately want stretching.
3Run the resize; every file in the batch is taken to the same target in a single pass.
4Download the resized AVI file, or the whole set together as one archive.
Resize AVI FAQ
Does the source format affect the result of a resize?
+
It does. AVI is the 1992 Microsoft container: broad codec support but no modern streaming features, no B-frame-friendly indexing and poor subtitle handling. That is what decides whether shrinking the file is purely a question of pixels or also a question of re-encoding.
Is there anything specific to AVI I should watch for?
+
Yes — AVI has no modern index or B-frame-friendly structure, so accurate seeking usually requires a real re-encode rather than a copy. Worth checking before you resize a file you will not be able to regenerate.
What is the most common mistake when resizing AVI videos?
+
Upscaling. Enlarging cannot invent detail that was never captured, so the result is a soft version of the original at a bigger size. Always resize down from the largest source you have, and resize once rather than in stages.
What dimensions should I actually target?
+
Match the slot it will live in. A full-width web hero rarely needs more than 1920 pixels wide, a content image 1200, a thumbnail 400, and doubling those numbers covers high-DPI screens. Anything beyond that is bytes nobody sees.
Can I run Resize AVI on several AVI videos at once?
+
Yes. Uploads queue in parallel, which matters more here than anywhere else because video jobs are minutes rather than seconds. Free accounts run one file at a time; a pass lifts that.
What happens to audio, subtitle and chapter tracks?
+
They are carried across. Multi-track audio, embedded subtitle tracks and chapter markers survive wherever the target container can represent them — that is the main thing that separates a proper job from a naive re-encode that silently keeps only track one.
Does Resize AVI cost anything?
+
No. Resize AVI is free without an account, and the output carries no watermark, no corner logo and no intro card. Uploaded video is deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
Is there a file size limit on Resize AVI?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 1 GiB per file, by far the most generous cap on the site; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the work, which is the same toolchain behind most desktop video software. Video is the one family where the cap is high enough that upload time, not the limit, is what you will actually notice.
Why does a PNG site host Resize AVI?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Resize AVI on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Resize AVI is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Resize AVI rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Resize AVI here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, and nothing you process is indexed, listed or used for anything else. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
