Frequently asked questions
Why can't my computer open AVIF files?
AVIF is recent and operating systems add support at different speeds. Windows may need an AV1 codec extension, older macOS versions cannot open it, and many apps do not read it. Converting to JPG avoids the problem.
Will the JPG be larger than the AVIF?
Yes, usually by a wide margin, because AVIF uses a far more efficient compression method. To keep it down, run the JPG through the compressor on this site afterward.
What happens to the transparent areas?
They become white. JPG has no transparency. Use PNG if you need to keep the see-through background.
Does the converted JPG look as good as the AVIF?
At normal viewing size, generally yes. Very smooth gradients or HDR images can look slightly flatter, because JPG stores less color information than a high bit depth AVIF.
Are my AVIF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your AVIF files stay on your device. There is no signup, no watermark and no cost, and you can convert a whole batch and download it as a zip.
About AVIF to JPG
AVIF is excellent on the web and awkward everywhere else. Save an image from a site that serves AVIF and you may end up with a file your photo viewer will not open, your presentation software ignores and an upload form rejects. Windows may need an extra AV1 codec extension before its own apps will show it, and many editing, printing and email tools do not read it at all. JPG is the one format they all agree on.

Choose JPG when the image is a photograph or a detailed picture you need to send to someone or upload somewhere. For logos, screenshots or anything with transparency, convert to PNG instead.
AVIF compresses much more efficiently than JPG, often 30 to 50 percent better at similar quality, so the JPG will be noticeably bigger, commonly one and a half to two times the size. JPG is also limited to 8 bits per color channel, so any high bit depth or HDR information in the AVIF is flattened into standard color. Transparency is replaced with white. An animated AVIF becomes a still image of its first frame. Metadata is removed.
AVIF is lossy or lossless, compressed with AV1; JPG is lossy, using discrete cosine transform compression. JPG cannot store transparency, so any transparent area in the AVIF file turns white. AVIF files can be animated, but the result is a still image made from the first frame. For scale, a 12-megapixel photo is typically 1 to 2.5 MB as AVIF and 2 to 5 MB as JPG. Compatibility: Every browser, phone, camera, editor, email client and upload form opens it, which is its main strength.
