AVI, standing for Audio Video Interleave, refers to a video format that gives you a high-quality viewing and auditory experience. However, an AVI file, which is uncompressed, often has a large file size, which may cause low storage space on your device. To solve that problem, you can try to compress AVI file.
In addition, many platforms like Vimeo and Discord have a file size limit. Therefore, it may be problematic to share your AVI files on those platforms. In this background, an AVI compressor is indispensable. Considering that some of you may know little about how to compress AVI files, I will recommend three robust AVI video compressors in the following paragraphs.
