Convert AVIF to JPG

AVIF is the most efficient image format in common use — and the least widely supported by desktop software. Convert to JPG here when you need a file that opens anywhere.

Images are processed on your device and never uploaded.

How to convert AVIF to JPG

  1. Select your .avif files.
  2. Choose a quality level, and a background colour if transparency is present.
  3. Press Convert and download.

Decoding uses your browser's built-in AVIF support where available, which is fast and adds nothing to the page weight. Only if your browser lacks it is a WebAssembly decoder fetched, and only at that moment.

What AVIF is

AVIF wraps still images in the AV1 video codec. It is roughly 50% smaller than JPEG and 20–30% smaller than WebP at matching quality, and it supports HDR, wide colour gamut, 12-bit depth and transparency.

The trade-off is encoding cost — AVIF is much slower to encode than JPEG — and patchy support outside browsers. Most desktop image viewers and editors still cannot open one.

What gets lost in conversion

JPEG is 8-bit, SDR and has no alpha channel. Converting from AVIF therefore means:

  • HDR is tone-mapped down to standard dynamic range;
  • wide-gamut colour is clipped toward sRGB;
  • 10- and 12-bit depth is reduced to 8-bit, which can introduce banding in smooth skies;
  • transparency is replaced by your chosen background colour.

For ordinary photographs none of this is visible. For HDR content it can be.

AVIF vs WebP vs JPEG

If the destination is a website, keep the AVIF or convert to WebP — both work in every current browser and save real bytes. If the file is going into desktop software, to a print shop, or into an official upload form, JPG is the only safe answer.

Batch conversion

Drop up to 20 AVIF files at once, convert them in a single pass, and download them as a ZIP. Because decoding uses your browser's built-in support, this is fast and adds no libraries to the page.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to your server?

No. The image is decoded, processed and re-encoded by your own browser using the Canvas and Web Worker APIs. There is no upload endpoint for this tool — open your browser's network panel while you use it and you will see no request carrying image data.

Why can't I open AVIF files on my computer?

Browsers adopted AVIF quickly; desktop software has not. Windows needs the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store, and many editors have no support at all.

Will the JPG be much larger?

Yes — expect roughly double, sometimes more. AVIF is a far more efficient codec, and that efficiency is exactly what you give up for compatibility.

What happens to my file when I close the tab?

It is gone. The image only ever exists in your browser's memory as an object URL; closing or refreshing the page discards it. Nothing is written to our servers, and nothing is stored on your device unless you download the result.
