How to convert AVIF to JPG
- Select Choose files, or drag your AVIF files onto the box. You can also paste an image.
- Each file converts on your device. A progress bar shows the status and nothing is sent anywhere.
- Select Download for one file, or Download all (ZIP) when you convert several at once.
Why convert AVIF to JPG
AVIF files are common on modern websites and in newer phones, but many editors, email programs, print services and older systems cannot open them. JPG opens everywhere, so converting is the quickest fix when an app says the file is unsupported.
About the formats
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec. It makes files that are often 30 to 50 percent smaller than JPG at the same quality, and it supports transparency and high color depth. JPG is a lossy format with universal support. The conversion cannot add back detail, but at 90 percent quality the difference is rarely visible.
Transparent areas become white, because JPG has no transparency. If you need to keep transparency, use AVIF to PNG instead. Browsers that cannot decode AVIF use a built-in decoder, which is slower but works.
Tips
- Convert as many files as you like. They run in parallel on devices with several cores.
- The quality slider, where shown, trades size against sharpness. Around 90 percent suits most pictures.
- Related conversions: AVIF to PNG and WebP to JPG.
- Converted files contain no camera or location data, because the picture is redrawn and saved fresh.
When AVIF does not open
If a download from a website saves as .avif and your photo viewer refuses it, the fastest fix is converting it. Recent versions of Windows, macOS and iOS can open AVIF, but many older versions, printing services, forms and chat tools cannot. Converting to JPG also lets you attach the picture to documents and upload it to sites that only accept JPG or PNG. Keep the AVIF original as well if you may want the smaller file later.
