Trimming an AVI and keeping it an AVI
AVI is a Microsoft container from 1992. It still turns up in old archives, camcorder dumps and downloaded footage, but it predates modern compression and has no idea what a phone is.
The output format is set to AVI before you start, so what you download is the same kind of file you uploaded: nothing downstream that expects an AVI has to be told about a new format. If you would rather have something that plays everywhere, switch the output to MP4 in the panel.

Before you trim an AVI
No browser plays AVI, so an AVI cannot be previewed or embedded on a web page without converting it first.
AVI files from older cameras and downloads often hold DivX, Xvid or MJPEG video, which modern phones and TVs frequently refuse even when the extension looks familiar.
trim avi: questions
Will it stay an AVI?
Yes. The output is pre-set to AVI, so the trimmed file downloads as AVI. You can change it to MP4 or another format in the panel before exporting.
Does trimming an AVI lose quality?
The part you keep is re-encoded once at a high quality target, so it is not bit-for-bit identical, but it is indistinguishable at normal playback. Editing the same file over and over will eventually show, so keep your original.
Is trimming AVI free?
Yes. Trim and preview free, and a free account downloads the result. Free exports and share pages include a small REQO badge. Go Pro to remove it.
