AVIF to JPG Converter

Convert AVIF images to JPG, with a quality setting.

This converter turns AVIF images into JPG files that any program can open. AVIF is a newer format that websites use because its files are very small, but a picture saved from a web page as .avif will not open in many editors and cannot be attached to many forms. Add the files, choose a JPG quality and press Convert. The work is done in your browser.

How to Convert AVIF to JPG

  1. Add the images: drop your .avif files on the converter, or click it to pick them from a folder.
  2. Set the quality: 90% suits most photos. A lower setting gives a smaller JPG.
  3. Convert: press Convert.
  4. Download: take the JPGs one by one, or together in a ZIP.

What Changes When AVIF Becomes JPG

  • File size: The JPG is usually two to three times the size of the AVIF at similar quality. AVIF is the more efficient format, and that is the price of compatibility.
  • Transparency: A transparent background turns white, since JPG has none.
  • Colour depth: A 10-bit or HDR AVIF is flattened to ordinary 8-bit colour, which is all a JPG holds.
  • Quality: Both formats are lossy. At 90% the second compression is rarely visible.

Why You Have an AVIF File

Most AVIF files come from websites. A site keeps a picture in several formats and sends each visitor the smallest one their browser can show, which today is usually AVIF. When you save that picture, you get the AVIF. If you need to keep a transparent background, use the AVIF to PNG Converter instead of this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert AVIF to JPG?

Add the .avif files to the converter above, set the quality and press Convert. Download each JPG or the whole batch as a ZIP.

Why will my AVIF file not open?

AVIF is recent, and support outside web browsers is still incomplete. Older versions of Windows, photo editors and office programs cannot read it. A JPG copy opens everywhere.

Will the JPG be bigger than the AVIF?

Almost always. AVIF compresses far better than JPG, so expect the JPG to be two or three times the size at a high quality setting.

Does the conversion lose quality?

Slightly, because JPG compresses the picture again. At 90% the loss is hard to see. It cannot restore detail the AVIF had already lost.

Does it work in every browser?

It needs a browser that can display AVIF, which the current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all do. Some rare files, for example 10-bit pictures with 4:2:2 colour, cannot be decoded everywhere. Those are marked as unreadable.

Is the AVIF sent to a server?

No. Your browser decodes the AVIF and writes the JPG itself, so the picture stays where it is.
