AVIF to JPG
Open an AVIF in software that will not take one — never uploaded.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing leaves your device.
-
1
Drop the AVIF in
It is decoded in the page; nothing is sent anywhere.
-
2
It is re-encoded as JPG
At 92% quality; transparency is flattened onto white.
-
3
Download the JPG
Opens in anything.
Why you end up needing this
- AVIF is the newest of these formats and the least widely accepted outside browsers. You downloaded an image from a modern site, and now your editor, your printer or an upload form will not take it. That is nearly always the reason for this conversion.
- You give up the size advantage. AVIF is the most efficient format here — the JPG will usually be considerably larger for the same picture. That is the trade: compatibility costs bytes.
- Transparency is flattened onto white. AVIF supports an alpha channel and JPG does not, so any transparent area becomes solid white. Convert to PNG instead when the transparency matters.
- Keep the AVIF if it is the original. Both formats are lossy, so this is a second generation of compression. Invisible at 92% on a photograph, but the AVIF remains the better master.
Frequently asked questions
Why will nothing open my AVIF?
AVIF is recent. Browsers read it, but a lot of desktop software, print workflows and upload forms still do not.
Will the JPG be bigger?
Usually yes, often considerably. AVIF compresses more efficiently than JPG.
What happens to transparency?
It is filled with white. Use PNG if you need it kept.
Is my image uploaded?
No. It is converted in your browser.
