The Pixazo AVI to MOV Converter re-wraps a legacy .AVI file into a modern QuickTime .MOV so it plays natively on macOS, iOS and every Apple editing app. It runs in your browser — desktop or mobile — with no install, no plugin, no watermark, and you keep the source resolution.
Free to start, and it scales with your Pixazo plan when you have long or heavy files to move. An AVI walking in isn't "broken" — it's simply from an older era. The frames stay themselves; only the wrapper around them is renewed so modern Apple hardware can read them without asking for a plugin.
Three hero-scale things it does — each with a live example from the Studio.
Feature 01 · Restoration
An AVI file that opens fine on old Windows software often fights QuickTime, iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Convert once and the same footage becomes a MOV that plays natively on every Apple device.
Feature 02 · Timeline-ready
The output is a real QuickTime .MOV — drag it straight into Final Cut Pro, iMovie or DaVinci Resolve without codec warnings or transcoding steps.
Feature 03 · Fidelity
The converter reads what's actually inside your AVI and re-wraps it as MOV at your source resolution. No watermark, no forced quality drop.
Four moves. The file that walks in as an AVI walks out as a modern QuickTime MOV ready for Apple gear.
