AVIF to JPG
Convert AVIF next-generation images to universal JPG format entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. AVIF offers even better compression than WebP (roughly 20% smaller), but it remains poorly supported on older devices, legacy software, and Microsoft Office. Converting to JPG ensures your images open on every device and in every application, completely solving compatibility issues for uploads, document insertion, printing, and sharing with users on older systems.

Use Cases
- Images downloaded from AVIF-supporting websites won't open in older browsers or older computers — convert to JPG for normal viewing.
- AVIF images can't be inserted into PowerPoint or Word documents — convert to JPG for seamless Office integration.
- Windows Photo Viewer and older Photoshop versions don't support AVIF — convert to JPG for opening and editing.
- Online applications and resume systems only accept JPG uploads — convert AVIF ID photos and document images for submission.
- Print shops don't recognize AVIF format — convert to JPG beforehand to avoid being unable to print.
- Sharing images with elderly relatives or clients on older phones — JPG is guaranteed to open everywhere.
- Video editing software (Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve) doesn't import AVIF — convert to JPG for timeline use.
- E-commerce backends and CMS systems don't support AVIF uploads — convert to JPG for product listings and articles.
- Older smart TVs, digital photo frames, and car navigation systems don't recognize AVIF — convert to JPG for display.
- Email clients don't display AVIF images — convert to JPG so recipients see images directly.
- Collecting AVIF source material for archiving — convert to JPG for universal cross-device access going forward.
- Forums and message boards reject AVIF avatar or attachment uploads (only JPG/PNG allowed) — convert before posting.
How to Use
- Click the upload area or drag an AVIF file onto the page. Only .avif format files are accepted.
- Decoding starts automatically in the browser after file selection. Transparent areas are filled with white per JPG specification.
- Wait for the conversion progress to complete. Large AVIF images may take a few seconds.
- Preview the converted JPG dimensions and file size, then click download to save.
Features
- 100% client-side processing: AVIF decoding and JPG encoding both happen in your browser via Web Workers — images are never uploaded to any server
- Universal compatibility fix: JPG is the most widely supported image format — converted files open on every device and in every software
- Full AVIF feature support: Handles 8-bit/10-bit AVIF, lossy/lossless AVIF, and AVIF with alpha channels
- Auto-convert on upload: Select an AVIF file and processing starts immediately — no extra clicks needed
- High quality output: Encoded at 0.92 quality parameter to preserve AVIF original detail and color
- Real-time progress tracking: Visible decode/encode percentage even for large images
- Original dimensions preserved: Output JPG matches the exact width and height of your source AVIF, no scaling or cropping

FAQ
What is AVIF and why can't many systems open it?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec, offering roughly 20% better compression than WebP — currently the most compression-efficient image format available. However, it was only finalized in 2019 and currently only supported in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, and Safari 16+. Older devices, legacy software, and Microsoft Office don't support it yet, which is why downloaded AVIF images often fail to open.
Will converting AVIF to JPG reduce image quality?
Some re-compression loss is expected since JPG is lossy. This tool uses a high 0.92 quality parameter for encoding, making the difference nearly invisible for everyday viewing, sharing, and printing (non-professional). For scenarios requiring absolute fidelity, keep the original AVIF files.
What happens to AVIF transparent backgrounds when converting to JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency. During conversion, transparent areas are automatically filled with solid white. If you need to preserve transparency, use the [AVIF to PNG](/image/avif-to-png/) tool instead.
Are AVIF images uploaded to a server? Is it private?
No uploads. All conversion happens locally in your browser via Web Workers. Your image files are never sent to any external server or stored in the cloud. Processing personal photos and sensitive images is completely safe.
Is animated AVIF supported?
Animated AVIF (AVIF animation) is converted by extracting the first frame as a static JPG image, since JPG itself doesn't support animation. If you need to preserve animation, convert to GIF or WebP animation format via the [main converter](/image/convert/).
Is 10-bit HDR AVIF supported?
Yes, AVIF files that the browser can correctly decode are all supported. Note that JPG is an 8-bit format, so HDR content is tone-mapped to standard SDR output.
Is batch conversion supported?
Currently one AVIF image is processed at a time for browser-side processing stability. Process files one by one for multiple conversions. Batch functionality may be added in future versions.
Is it normal for the JPG file to be much larger than AVIF after conversion?
Yes, this is normal. AVIF has extremely high compression — at equivalent quality, JPG files can be 50-100% larger than AVIF or more. This is a necessary trade-off for compatibility. If you need smaller file sizes, use the [image compressor](/image/compress/) after converting to JPG.
