Why convert AVIF to JPG?
AVIF is a new image format that many websites now use because the files are tiny. When you save a picture from one of those sites, you may end up with an .avif file that your photo viewer, editor, email client or a website upload form does not recognize. Converting AVIF to JPG gives you a normal photo file that works everywhere, saved at high quality (90 out of 100).
- You saved an image from a website and your computer or phone cannot open the .avif file.
- An editor, marketplace or form only accepts JPG images.
- You want to print a picture or send it to someone without compatibility problems.
Why you suddenly have AVIF files
You probably did not choose AVIF. Many news sites, shops and image services now check what your browser can display and quietly send AVIF when it is supported, which is the case in current Chrome, Firefox and Edge and in Safari since version 16. The picture looks normal on the page, but "Save image as" stores it with the .avif extension.
The trouble starts once the file leaves the browser. Older photo viewers, office documents, some email programs and many upload forms do not recognize it, and the file may show up with no preview at all.
The size you should expect
AVIF squeezes photos remarkably hard, so the JPG will be noticeably larger. We encoded three photos as AVIF at 1600 pixels wide (78 KB to 172 KB) and converted them here: the JPGs weighed 256 KB to 402 KB, about 2.2 to 3.3 times the AVIF. At full 12-megapixel size the JPGs ended up 2.6 to 3.6 times larger, between 1 and 2 MB.
Those are still ordinary sizes for a JPG photo, comfortably accepted by email, messaging apps and most upload forms.
Tips for the best result
- JPG has no transparency. If the AVIF has a transparent background, it becomes white. Use AVIF to PNG to keep transparency.
- The JPG will usually be larger than the AVIF, because AVIF compresses much more efficiently.
- Only use images you have the right to use. Saving a picture from a website does not give you permission to republish it.
- Before converting, look for a download button on the page where you found the picture. Some photo libraries offer the original JPG directly, which spares the image a second round of compression.
About these formats
AVIF: A new, very efficient image format used by many websites. Files are tiny, but a lot of editors, apps and upload forms do not accept it yet.
JPG: The most common photo format. It uses compression to keep files small, and it opens everywhere, but it does not support transparency.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AVIF file?
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec. It gives very small files at good quality, which is why websites use it to load faster.
Is transparency kept?
No, JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas become white. Choose AVIF to PNG if you need it.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up, and you can convert up to 20 files at once.
Can I just rename the .avif file to .jpg?
No. Renaming changes only the label, not the data inside, so many apps will still refuse the file or show an error. A real conversion decodes the image and writes a true JPG. Our converter reads what the file actually contains, so a mislabeled AVIF is converted correctly too.
Will the JPG look worse than the AVIF?
It should look the same to the eye. We save at quality 90, so the conversion adds very little loss. Any smoothing the AVIF compression already applied, such as softened skin or grass texture, stays as it is.
