AVIF to JPG Converter

Convert AVIF images to universally compatible JPG format. AVIF is the best web format but lacks software support — JPG works everywhere. Free, instant, private.

What is AVIF?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It achieves 50% better compression than JPEG and 20% better than WebP at equivalent quality. However, AVIF is a newer standard with limited software support outside of web browsers — Photoshop added AVIF support in 2021, but many other tools still can't open AVIF files.

When to convert AVIF to JPG

Convert AVIF to JPG when you need to: open the image in software that doesn't support AVIF (older Photoshop, Lightroom, many image viewers), share via email or messaging apps, upload to platforms that don't accept AVIF, or print with a lab that requires JPEG input.

Browser requirement for AVIF input

AVIF decoding requires Chrome 85+ or Firefox 93+ or Safari 16+. If you're using an older browser, the AVIF file may not load in the tool. Update your browser if you encounter issues, or use a desktop application to perform the conversion.

Frequently asked questions

AVIF is a relatively new format (standardized in 2019) and desktop software support is still catching up. Windows 10 requires a codec update, older Photoshop versions don't support it, and most image viewers don't recognize AVIF yet. Converting to JPG instantly makes the image compatible with all software.
Yes — AVIF achieves 50% better compression than JPEG, so the JPEG output will typically be 50–100% larger than the AVIF source at equivalent quality. For example, a 200 KB AVIF at quality 80 might become a 400–450 KB JPEG at quality 90.
AVIF input decoding requires Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, or Safari 16+. Older browsers cannot decode AVIF files. The tool will display an error if your browser lacks AVIF support. Update your browser to the latest version if you encounter issues.
Keep your original AVIFs if file size matters — they're your smallest copy. Use the JPEG versions only for compatibility purposes (sharing, printing, software that doesn't support AVIF). AVIF is the right archival format if your workflow supports it.
