    How to convert AVIF to JPG

    AVIF is one of the newest image formats on the web, and while browsers handle it well, many apps, editors and upload forms still don’t. Convert AVIF images to JPG here to get files that open anywhere, in a batch and without uploading them.

    1. Step 1

      Add the AVIF files

      Drag in .avif images saved from websites, exported from an app or sent to you by someone else.

    2. Step 2

      Keep JPG at 90%

      This page sets the output to JPG. The default quality preserves the look of the original.

    3. Step 3

      Set a background if needed

      Transparent areas in an AVIF become the color you choose, since JPG has no transparency.

    4. Step 4

      Convert and download

      Press Convert, then save the JPGs one by one or in a ZIP.

    What is AVIF, and why can’t I open it?

    AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) stores images using the AV1 video codec, developed by a group of companies including Google, Netflix and Mozilla. It often produces files around half the size of an equivalent JPG with fewer visible artifacts, so a growing number of websites and image services deliver AVIF to browsers that support it. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16 or newer all display it.

    Outside the browser the picture is patchier. Older versions of Windows Photos and macOS Preview, many photo editors, office apps, printing kiosks and upload forms don’t recognize .avif files yet. Converting to JPG is the quickest way around that.

    File size after converting

    Because AVIF is so efficient, the JPG you get will usually be noticeably larger, sometimes two or three times the size at 90% quality. That’s expected. If you need a smaller JPG, lower the quality slider to 75–80%, or follow up with Compress to a target size when a form has a strict limit.

    Converting can’t add detail the AVIF didn’t have, but at the default quality the JPG matches what you see in the AVIF closely.

    HDR, transparency and other AVIF features

    AVIF can carry features JPG doesn’t have. Transparency is flattened onto the background color you pick; if you need to keep it, convert to PNG or WebP with the main image converter instead. HDR and wide-color AVIF images are converted to standard-range sRGB colors, which is what JPG and most screens expect, so very bright highlights may look a little less punchy. Animated AVIF files are saved as a still image of the first frame.

    Converted locally, not on a server

    Your browser already knows how to decode AVIF, so the conversion happens entirely on your device: decode, draw, save as JPG. No file is uploaded, there’s no waiting in a queue, and there’s no limit on how many images you convert. If you work with lots of modern formats, the WebP to JPG converter works the same way.

    Saving an AVIF from a website

    When you right-click an image and save it, you get whatever format the site chose to send your browser, which is increasingly AVIF or WebP. Converting the file here is quick, but remember that pictures on websites usually belong to someone; check you have permission before reusing them.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is an AVIF file?

    AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It makes much smaller files than JPG at similar quality and is supported by current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

    Why can’t I open AVIF images on my computer?

    Many apps, including older versions of Windows Photos, macOS Preview and popular editors, do not support AVIF yet. Converting to JPG makes the image open everywhere.

    Why is the JPG so much bigger than the AVIF?

    AVIF compresses images far more efficiently than JPG. The JPG keeps the same look but needs more space to do it.

    Does converting AVIF to JPG lose quality?

    At the default 90 percent quality, the difference is very hard to see. HDR images are converted to standard colors, which can make the brightest highlights look slightly flatter.

    Can I keep the transparent background?

    Not in JPG. Use the image converter to save as PNG or WebP if you need transparency.

    Can I convert JPG to AVIF too?

    Yes. Use Convert Image and choose AVIF as the output. Creating AVIF files takes a few seconds per photo in browsers that cannot encode it natively.

    Are my AVIF images uploaded?

    No. They are decoded and converted by your browser on your own device.
