What is an AVIF file?

A modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. It compresses far better than JPEG at the same visible quality, which is why fast websites have started using it. The catch is support: browsers handle it, but a lot of desktop and phone software still does not.

Why can't my computer open AVIF?

Because the format is recent and support arrives slowly outside browsers. Some operating systems have added it, many applications have not, and older devices never will. Converting to JPG sidesteps the whole question.

How much bigger will the JPG be?

Usually considerably, because AVIF is a great deal more efficient than JPEG. Rather than quote a figure that would be wrong for your file, the tool converts yours and shows the actual before and after on the row.

My AVIF has a transparent background. What happens to it?

It gets filled in, because JPEG has no transparency at all. AVIF does, so anything cut out or faded has to become a real color on the way across. Choose which one in the Background row before converting: white by default, black in one tap, or any hex code. If the transparency matters, convert to PNG or WebP instead.

Is there a better format to convert to?

WebP, if whatever you are using can open it: it sits between the two, much better supported than AVIF and much smaller than JPG. Change the target in the Convert to row. If the software is genuinely ancient, JPG remains the safest answer.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your images are never sent to us or to anyone else. You can check by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, or drop a whole folder in. Each file is handled on its own and gets its own JPG to download, so a file that cannot be read does not stop the others.

Does converting remove the photo's location data?

Usually, yes. Writing a new file drops the hidden metadata a camera or phone attaches, including GPS coordinates. That is often useful before sharing a photo publicly, but do not lean on it as a privacy tool. Check the file yourself if it matters.

How it works

Three steps to a JPG

1
Add your AVIF files
Drag them in, paste from your clipboard, or browse your files. A whole folder at once is fine.
2
Check the settings
JPG cannot store transparency, so choose what color goes behind it. Quality is matched to your original unless you set it yourself.
3
Download
Save your JPG files. Nothing was sent anywhere, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

Why this one

Why convert AVIF to JPG here

The newest format, and the oldest

AVIF is built on the AV1 video codec and stores a photograph in remarkably little space. That efficiency is exactly why support outside browsers is still thin. JPG is the opposite trade in every respect: larger, older, and openable by absolutely everything.

02
The file will get noticeably bigger
AVIF is substantially more efficient than JPEG, so this conversion costs more size than most. A file that was small precisely because it was AVIF will not stay small as a JPG. You are buying compatibility with bytes, and the result row shows the exact price.
03
No limits, no queue
Convert as many AVIF files as you like, at any size your browser can handle. There is no server to wait for and nothing for us to ration.
04
A whole folder at once
Drop in as many AVIF files as you like. Each one is converted separately and gets its own result, so one awkward file cannot spoil the rest of the batch.
05
It shows you the real numbers
Every file reports what it weighed before and after, and which way it moved. Where another format would have come out meaningfully smaller than JPG, that is offered next to the file instead of being quietly withheld.

Who it's for

When you'd use it

Someone who downloaded an image and cannot open it
An AVIF saved from a modern website will often not open in a desktop photo viewer, an older phone, or the software a client insists on using.
Someone with a folder of them
A batch that all needs to be JPG before it goes anywhere, dropped in together rather than converted one at a time.
Someone on a work laptop
Software installs are blocked and the files are not theirs to upload to a stranger's server. A browser tab is the only tool available, and it is enough.
