About AVIF
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec, published by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency, HDR and wide colour.
Modern websites, which use it for images smaller than WebP or JPEG at similar quality.
Encoding AVIF is slow, and older software and operating systems may not open it.
Convert AVIF to JPEG online free, no account required — JPEG is the universal lossy photo format.
Change AVIF to JPEG without losing quality — convert AVIF to JPEG free in your browser.
Why won't my image editor or older browser open my AVIF file? The format is still young, and support in desktop software lags well behind the major browsers — a conversion to JPG or PNG keeps the image editable.
About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
What changes when you convert AVIF to JPEG
- The AVIF picture is re-encoded as JPEG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas of the AVIF are filled with a solid background colour (white, unless you choose another one in the settings).
- If the AVIF is animated, only its first frame is converted to JPEG.
Settings you can change

Your converted JPEG file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
