How do I convert TS to AVI?

Add your TS file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The AVI file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to AVI reduce quality?

AVI uses lossy compression, so some data is discarded. At the default quality the difference is very hard to see or hear; raise the quality setting if you need to be certain, at the cost of a larger file.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 512 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

TS and AVI explained

MPEG Transport Stream was designed for broadcast, where a receiver might tune in at any moment. It is built from small self-contained packets, which makes it resilient to errors but awkward to edit.

AVI is a Microsoft container from 1992. It predates modern video compression and lacks features taken for granted today, such as proper support for variable frame rates and modern codec metadata.

Where TS files come from: AVCHD camcorders, TV recordings, and HLS streaming segments.
Where AVI is used: Old camcorders, legacy Windows software and archived downloads.

TS vs AVI

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

TS compared with AVI
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Container (depends on codec)	Container (depends on codec)
Animation	Yes	Yes
Introduced	1995	1992
Browser support	Media players yes, browsers and editors often no.	Wide but dated. Not supported in browsers.

TS is stronger at: Robust to data loss. Can be joined by simple concatenation. The backbone of HLS streaming.
AVI is stronger at: Readable by very old software. Simple, well understood structure.

Why convert TS to AVI?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of TS: editing or sharing — convert to MP4 first. AVI is the better fit when a legacy system specifically requires it.

TS limitations that prompt the switch: Editors often refuse it. No browser support as a standalone file. Higher overhead than MP4.
What you give up: Inefficient — much larger than MP4 for the same quality. No browser support.

Does converting TS to AVI reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
