How to convert AVI to AMR
- Add your .AVI file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .AMR in a few seconds.
- Download your new .AMR file.
What to expect
- The video stream is discarded completely; AMR stores audio only.
- Audio is re-encoded with a lossy speech codec, usually mono and low sample rate, so fidelity drops sharply for anything other than voice.
- Chapters, subtitles and most container metadata from the AVI are not carried over.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the video when I convert AVI to AMR?
AMR is a speech-audio format with no video capability, so the picture is dropped entirely. Only the audio track is kept, re-encoded with the Adaptive Multi-Rate speech codec.
Why would someone convert an AVI to AMR?
AMR is the compact voice codec used by GSM and 3G phones, so it suits extracting a spoken-word track into a very small file for phone or messaging use. It is a poor fit for music or high-fidelity audio.
How good does the audio sound after conversion?
AMR is a lossy codec tuned for narrowband speech, typically mono at 8 kHz (AMR-NB), so it captures voice intelligibly but noticeably degrades music, stereo imaging and high frequencies. Quality cannot exceed what AMR's low bitrate allows.
Where does an AMR file open?
AMR is a 3GPP-standardized format supported by many phones and by cross-platform players such as VLC. Some general-purpose apps do not read it, in which case a more common audio format is a better target.
