AVIF to JPG

Convert AVIF images — the newest, most efficient web format — into JPGs that older software, printers and upload forms will actually accept.

How it works

A compact workflow from input to download.

1

Add your AVIF files

Drag and drop one or many AVIF images onto the drop zone, or click to browse your device. Batch conversion is supported.

2

Pick your quality

Adjust the quality slider if you want a smaller file or a sharper JPG. The default is tuned to look identical to the original at a fraction of the size.

3

Download the JPG

Save each converted image individually, or download everything at once as a ZIP archive. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AVIF file?
AVIF is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It compresses even more efficiently than WebP — often producing files half the size of a comparable JPG — which is why leading websites have begun serving it. Save an image from one of those sites and you get an AVIF, whether you expected one or not.
Why won't my software open AVIF?
Because it is new. Browsers adopted it quickly, but desktop applications, older operating systems, print services and upload forms lag years behind. Converting to JPG sidesteps the problem entirely, since nothing in mainstream computing rejects a JPG.
Does converting lose quality?
Slightly, since you are re-encoding one lossy format into another. At the default quality it is not noticeable. Convert to PNG instead if you need to be certain no further detail is lost.
Can my browser even read AVIF?
This tool decodes AVIF using your browser's own image support, which is present in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. If you are on a genuinely old browser, update it and the conversion will work.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device, are never uploaded, and are never stored — which also means the tool keeps working on files you would not be comfortable sending to a stranger's server.

AVIF is the current state of the art

AVIF applies compression technology from the AV1 video codec to still images, and the results are remarkable: it routinely produces files around half the size of an equivalent JPG, and meaningfully smaller than WebP, while also supporting transparency, wide colour gamuts and high dynamic range. For a website chasing Core Web Vitals scores, that is a serious advantage, which is why large publishers and image CDNs have moved to serving AVIF where the browser supports it. The technology is genuinely better than what came before, and over the next few years it is likely to become as ordinary as JPG is today.

The lag between browsers and everything else

The reason a brand-new format creates friction is that browsers update themselves and other software does not. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all shipped AVIF support within a few years of the format appearing, so on the web it simply works. Meanwhile the desktop photo editor you have had for six years, the print shop's decade-old upload form, the corporate document system nobody has touched since 2016, and the photo frame in your parents' living room have no idea what an AVIF is. Until that long tail catches up, converting to JPG remains the reliable way to make an AVIF usable in the parts of computing that move slowly.
